Three people were admitted at the  Colonial War Memorial Hospital (CWMH) after they were involved in an accident along the Queen Elizabeth Drive at around 8pm yesterday.

The Fiji Police Force is again reinforcing the call for a change of mindset with regards to road safety.

Director Traffic Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mitieli Divuana said the suspect is alleged to have been driving at a high speed when he lost control of the car near the Muanikau Community Post, causing it to veer off the road, landng upside down on the footpath.

SSP Divuana said the suspect and two passengers were rushed to the Colonial War Memorial Hospital, where they remain admitted.

“As a result of the accident, another vehicle also sustained damage, however the occupants of the car escaped serious injuries,” SSP Divuana said.

He said unless drivers adopt a change of mindset, road safety awareness and advisories will continue to fall on deaf ears, leading to more accidents being recorded on a daily basis.
