Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mitieli Divuana reported that the man, believed to be in his late 20s and of i-Taukei descent, was lying in the middle of Queens Road near Talenaua in Navua when he was struck by a vehicle driven by a 36-year-old driver at approximately 1 a.m. last Friday.

Despite immediate efforts to save him, the victim was pronounced dead upon arrival at Navua Hospital.
