Police investigates hit and run incident in Nakasi

Police are investigating a hit and run incident where a 7-year-old boy sustained injuries on Good Friday in Nakasi.

The mother of the child, Tokasa Marama says because of this, her son was not able to make it to school and sit for his exams.

Marama says this happened when they were crossing the road after they had gotten off a bus at the big intersection in Nakasi.

She says a blue vehicle was speeding, hit her son and rushed off again.

Marama says she was so shocked and could not see the number plate.

She says seeing her son cry was much more heartbreaking but with the help of the bystanders, a rental car stopped and took them to Nakasi Police Station and then to Nausori Health Centre.

Marama says the officers that took her report and the doctor that saw her son had both said that he was so lucky to have survived.
