A tragic incident occurred on Monday night in Naduna, Labasa, where a 16-year-old boy named Shalvin Lal lost his life in a car accident. Shalvin had left his home around 12:30 PM to pick up a relative. Reports suggest that he was driving at a high speed when he lost control of the vehicle, veered off the road, and struck a culvert. Sadly, he died at the scene, only to be discovered later by the relative he was on his way to meet.
Superintendent of Police Eroni Soqosoqo, the Acting Divisional Police Commander for North, has confirmed that an investigation into the accident is underway. A post-mortem examination is expected to be conducted today, which may provide further insights into the circumstances surrounding his death.
This heartbreaking event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of road safety and responsible driving, particularly among young drivers. Community efforts aimed at educating the youth about road risks could help prevent similar tragedies in the future. It is essential that families engage in open discussions about safe driving practices to foster a culture of responsibility on the roads.
