A Taxi driver believed to be in his early fifties is the latest victim on our roads after the vehicle he was driving collided with a lamp post last night.
The incident occurred at around 11.45pm last night along the Budai Feeder Road off Naduru Raod, Nausori, which also happens to be a private road.
The deceased was returning home from drinking grog at his friends home when the vehicle he was driving went off the road and collided with a lamp post.
A 35 year old passenger also travelling in the vehicle was later transferred to the CWM Hospital where he is currently admitted for observation.
The incident occurred just 200 meters away from where his friends home is located. He was rushed to the Nausori Hospital where he was unfortunately pronounced dead on arrival.
Meanwhile, a post mortem is expected to be conducted soon.
