“My opinion is that the footpath near the main road where the accident occurred is not safe for anyone to walk along at anytime.”
A driver is lucky to be alive after she drove into a ditch, overturning her car in the process.
The accident occurred in Tuana’imato where eyewitness, Taula’i Lemalu, said the driver lost control of her Rav4 at around 7.30pm last Saturday evening.
“A lady was driving her car when suddenly she sped up and lost control of her car,” he said.

“Then she left the road and her car continued along the footpath where she ended up in a ditch, overturning her vehicle in the process.
“Luckily no one was walking on the footpath when the accident happened.”
Mr Lemalu cautioned other drivers out there, saying there is an increasing number of cars on the road.
“There is also a lot of construction work going on here, so accidents can happen at anytime along Tuana’imato road if we are careless,” he said.
“This is not a motorway.
“My opinion is that the footpath near the main road where the accident occurred is not safe for anyone to walk along at anytime.”
Police were contacted in regards to this issue, however, at the time of press no comment was forthcoming.
