An 80-year-old man tragically lost his life in a severe traffic accident in Wainadoi, Navua, after a collision involving two vehicles. The accident took place when both drivers initiated overtaking maneuvers at the same time, leading to their vehicles veering off the road and landing in a ditch.

The victim, who hailed from Suva, was transported to Navua Hospital for treatment, but unfortunately, he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Fortunately, the other driver involved in the incident is reported to be in stable condition.

This incident adds to the growing concern surrounding road safety, with the national road death toll currently at 48, a notable decrease from 78 fatalities during the same period last year.

While it’s a somber reminder of the dangers on the road, it also highlights the importance of road safety measures and the ongoing efforts to reduce traffic-related fatalities. As communities and authorities continue to focus on enhancing driving awareness and safety regulations, there is hope that such tragic accidents can be prevented in the future.
