A 38-year-old laborer of Nakurakura, Nadi is believed to be the latest victim on our roads.

Police say the victim was driving along the Kings Road at Wairuku, Rakiraki when the driver veered off the road and landed in a drain yesterday afternoon.

Police say the man was returning from visiting his family in Rakiraki and was travelling with a 24 year old man when the alleged incident occurred.

The two were rushed to the Rakiraki Hospital and the driver died later that afternoon.

The passenger who sustained injuries is admitted under observation at the Rakiraki Hospital.

Meanwhile a man who was a passenger in a vehicle that was involved in a fatal accident on the 20th of this month in Sabeto passed away yesterday.

Two other people had earlier died in this accident.

The driver has been discharged and will be questioned soon.

A woman remains admitted while the 11 year old boy has been discharged.

The post mortems of the two victims will be conducted soon.

The road death toll currently stands at 18 compared to 20 for the same period last year.
