Tonga car crash victims were “teachers and best friends”

Two men who were killed in a road accident at ‘Atele on Tongatapu over the weekend were best friends and teachers.

Fangufangu Mana Jr Lātū and Sōsefo Kalangalupe Lōloa were passengers in a car that collided with a van on Tafa’ahau main road on Saturday night.

Latu and Loloa were returning from a barbecue party at Lapaha.

Loloa’s wife Tu’itamala Lōloa confirmed to Kaniva News last night that she was driving the car at the time of the accident.

Latu and Loloa are being remembered for their friendship since they were at Tonga High School.

Loloa was teaching at Talafo’ou Government School while Latu held a Teaching Assistant post at the university.
