One person died in a car crash this morning Sunday 18 at about 4am after his car rammed into a container on the roadside.
The road had been closed and a diversion was in place at By-Pass Rd.
According to local reports alcohol was believed to be a factor in the crash.
The road has since reopened, it said.
The fatal crash came after a suspected drunk driver from Vaini lost his life in a fatal car accident on Saturday 10 near Malapo.
Police said a 24-year-old was driving when his 1500 kg pick up van veered off the road and hit a Pulukamu tree.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
