A man in his 30s has been arrested following a suspected hit-and-run incident that occurred early yesterday morning near the Naisogo settlement in Colo-i-Suva. The police have confiscated his vehicle for forensic examination as part of the ongoing investigation.
The victim, also a man in his 30s, was discovered lying motionless at the scene. He was subsequently transported to the Colonial War Memorial Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Investigators are diligently working to uncover further details surrounding the incident.
This incident resonates with a series of recent hit-and-run cases in the Southern Division, which have prompted law enforcement officials, including Senior Superintendent of Police Mitieli Divuana, to seek community assistance for identifying victims and pursuing justice for families affected by similar tragic events.
Road safety remains a significant concern, as these incidents highlight the critical need for vigilance among drivers, particularly in areas where individuals may be at risk. The ongoing investigations aim not only to bring clarity to this case but also to foster a safer environment for everyone on the roads.
As developments unfold, there is hope that community cooperation will aid in achieving justice for the victim’s family and help prevent future tragedies on the roadways.
