A heartbreaking incident occurred this morning in Sigatoka Town, where a three-year-old boy from Kulukulu became the latest victim of a road traffic accident. The young boy was crossing the road alongside his grandmother when he was reportedly struck by a vehicle driven by a 38-year-old woman.
Despite being quickly transported to Sigatoka Hospital, the toddler was sadly pronounced dead upon arrival. The circumstances surrounding the accident are currently under investigation, and the driver has been taken into police custody as authorities seek to understand the situation better.
This tragic event serves as a somber reminder of road safety, particularly concerning vulnerable pedestrians like children. Community efforts to raise awareness about safe crossing practices and driver vigilance are essential in preventing such heartbreaking incidents in the future.
