Car accident causes power pole falls near school building occupied by children

School children at Kolomotuʻa Primary School were evacuated from a school building they were studying in because a vehicle crashed into a power pole just outside the school compound on Monday.

The powerpole was broken causing its top part with power lines to lean towards the school building.

No injuries were reported and the conditions of the vehicle and the driver were still unknown.

Facebook users have reported the school was closed down for the midterm break but children who will be sitting the Secondary School Examination Entrance at the end of this year were having classes when the incident happened.
