Police say a vehicle heading towards Suva veered onto the opposite lane and hit the vehicle driven by the 60-year-old man.
The vehicle that was coming towards Suva was driven by a 37-year-old man who is alleged to have fallen asleep.
The victim was rushed to the CWM Hospital where he passed away.
The four passengers travelling with him are also admitted in hospital.
Police say the suspect has been admitted as investigations continue.
The current road death toll stands at 62 compared to 51 for the same period last year.
