A 39-year-old man has become the latest road fatality following a tragic accident on Queens Road in Korolevu last night. He was driving back to Suva with a colleague when he reportedly lost control of the vehicle, which veered off the road. Emergency responders from the police and National Fire Authority arrived promptly at the scene. Despite being transported to Sigatoka Hospital, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The second individual involved, a man in his 20s, is currently in stable condition. Investigations into the accident are ongoing as authorities work to determine the circumstances that led to this unfortunate incident.
This latest fatality brings the current road death toll to four for the year, a significant decrease compared to fourteen fatalities for the same period last year. Such statistics may indicate that ongoing road safety awareness campaigns are making a difference, underscoring the importance of vigilance and responsible driving.
The community is urged to remain cautious and proactive in fostering safer driving habits, which can help reduce further tragedies on the road.
