A man in his 40s tragically lost his life in a vehicular accident in Navaga, Navosa. The incident took place on the morning of yesterday, shortly after 10 am, as reported by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mitieli Divuana, the Director of Traffic.
The victim was driving a truck loaded with gravel when, while navigating down a hill, he reportedly lost control of the vehicle. This loss of control led to the truck veering off the road, resulting in a fatal crash. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident.
In a broader context, it is noteworthy that the current national road death toll stands at 60, which reflects a decrease when compared to the same period in the previous year, where the toll was recorded at 74. This could indicate ongoing efforts to enhance road safety awareness and measures.
This tragic incident underscores the importance of road safety, particularly on steep terrains where the risk of losing control can be high. It serves as a reminder for all drivers to remain vigilant and cautious while on the road.
