But Police have denied the reports.
Acting Police Superintendent Tevita Vailea told Kaniva News he had been contacted after reports on Facebook wrongly accused the 60-year-old man, who was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident, of hit-and-run.
“’Oku ‘ikai mo’oni e pehe ko e hit and run,” Vailea said.
This translates into English as: “The hit-and-run claim is untrue.”
The victim from Folaha was declared dead on arrival at Vaiola hospital.
