Police have confirmed the death of a 44-year-old male from Salepoua’e Sale’imoa
According to Assistant Police Commissioner, Fauono Talalelei Tapu, the man died in a car accident in Tuana’i last week.
“The deceased was heading to Sale’imoa on early Sunday morning when he lost control of the vehicle,” Fauono said.
“(He then) crashed into a rock fence next to the Methodist Church at Tuana’i.”

Reports say a local villager took the driver to hospital, but it was too late and he did not survive.
The Assistant Commissioner said that alcohol was not a factor in the accident, that the deceased most probably fell asleep at the wheel.
Jeffery Paulo, who saw the crash, said the car veered to the side of the road before flipping over and crashing.
