Samuela Tupola

Funeral service held for US car crash victim Samuela Malu’amaka Tupola

Tupola, 23, was traveling with two of his cousins and two friends northbound on Interstate 15 near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, on their way back to Utah, when a sedan traveling south in the northbound lanes hit their vehicle head-on, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.

Kaniva News reports Tupola’s family alleged the fatal incident involved a driver “driving the wrong way on the freeway, heading straight into their car” before  the vehicle in which the deceased was travelling in was “hit head on, and shortly after a semi behind them couldn’t stop and hit their car as well”.
