An Australian based Vaigaga man, who has been in Samoa for three months to rebuild his family home, was involved in a hit and run incident on Wednesday night.
Laulu Vincent is recovering at the Tupua Tamasese Meaole Hospital.
His cousin, who did not want to be named, told the Sunday Samoan that Laulu is awaiting the results from an x-ray to determine the extent of his injuries.

“We don’t know how the accident happened,” the relative said. “What we do know is that he went to Vaigaga to check up on the lumber and other materials for the construction of our family home at the time of the accident.”
Laulu has apparently been staying at Vaitele.
An eyewitness said Laulu suffered serious facial injuries.
“He was lying on the side of the road when I got to him,” he said. “His face was all bloody when my brother ran over from the house and turned him [Laulu] over on his back.”
The man was taken to the hospital an Electric Power Corporation (E.P.C) vehicle.
The Sunday Samoan understands that the Police are investigating.
