Traffic investigators are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a victim involved in a tragic hit-and-run incident that occurred in the Southern Division. According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mitieli Divuana, the unidentified man was reportedly found sleeping in the middle of Queens Road near Talenaua in Navua when a vehicle, driven by a 36-year-old man, struck him early Friday morning, around 1 AM.

The victim was rushed to Navua Hospital but was sadly pronounced dead upon arrival. SSP Divuana shared that the victim is believed to be an i-Taukei man in his late 20s. Efforts to identify him have so far been unsuccessful, prompting investigators to release images of the clothing he was wearing and information about a tattoo located on his left arm in hopes that someone might provide crucial information.

This incident underscores the importance of road safety and awareness, particularly during the night hours. Authorities are hopeful that community engagement will aid in resolving this case and help bring comfort to the victim’s loved ones.
