Three people were lucky to be alive following a car accident that, according to an eyewitness, left the driver seriously injured.
A security guard at the Football Federation Samoa (F.F.S.) who saw the crash said the accident occurred last Friday night at Tuana’imato.
The guard, who wished to remain unnamed, alleged the car was travelling from Apia at a very high speed.
“I think the driver failed to control his speed which saw the vehicle fly over the ditch,” he said.
“It then rolled into a coconut tree snapping it in two.”
Another eyewitness claimed there were three men inside the van including the driver.
“The other two came running out the gate after the accident happened,” he said.
“They left the driver inside the van…and I think he was seriously injured.”
When the Samoa Observer arrived at the scene of the accident the F.F.S. gate was being repaired.
Comment was sought from police but none were forthcoming at the time of press.
