A tragic accident occurred in Navaga, Navosa, resulting in the death of a truck driver in his 40s. The incident unfolded yesterday morning shortly after 10 AM, as the driver was transporting gravel. Senior Superintendent of Police Mitieli Divuana reported that, while navigating a downhill stretch of road, the driver lost control of his vehicle, which subsequently veered off the road.
Unfortunately, the driver succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident. As a poignant reminder of road safety, this incident underscores the importance of cautious driving, particularly in challenging terrain.
On a broader note, the current national road death toll stands at 60, showing a slight decline compared to 74 fatalities during the same period the previous year.
