A Tongan woman in Oakland, California said she wanted Tongan residents in the area to check their vehicles after she found a black Yukon XL GMC van crashing outside her house.
The van has a California registration number plate 5FIS254 but Kaniva News could not be able to obtain the information about the vehicle’s year.
‘Iva Fā’otusia said she suspected the vehicle had been stolen before it crashed into three vehicles in front of her neighbour.
The driver fled the scene after the crash, she said.
“Please share this with our Tongan family in Oakland so that everyone could see if the vehicle belonged to them,” she said.
Fā’otusia said if some one stole a vehicle the owner could be going crazy all day and that was why she wanted to help.
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.
