Police Director Traffic, SSP Mahesh Mishra says he has not made a statement that the road belongs to all road users including the animals.

Mishra says he has stated that drivers need to be vigilant on roads as there are people who have animals and they use the roads to transport them.

Mishra’s comments come as he has been quoted in today’s Fiji Sun which reads “the road belongs to all road users including the animals.”

This after a road accident on the Coral Coast yesterday when a van hit a horse which jumped infront of the vehicle.

The driver and the passenger received injuries during the accident.

Meanwhile, Mishra says animal owners should take extra precaution  for any animal movement on the roads.
