Fatal Road Crash at Nualei resulted in death

Five people were heading west in a vehicle at high speed where the driver lost control and the vehicle swerved and crashed head-on to an electric pole on the opposite side of the road resulting in the death of the male driver and a female front passenger.

The other three passengers sustain serious injuries and are currently at the Intensive Care Unit, Vaiola hospital.

It is suspected that driving under the influence in addition to high speed contributed to the incident. Deputy Commissioner Operations Command Tevita Vailea urged the public to value their lives and make responsible decisions especially when alcohol is involved.

“It is another sad day for us and the families of the two people that died today because the incident could have been avoided.

There is only one life, and we must value it.” “Let us work together in complying with our laws and current curfew and be always responsible for safety on our roads.

This incident has tallied up road fatalities to ten so far this year.
