A 21-year-old man died in a tragic accident along Ratu Dovi Road near Nadera, just after midnight.
Director Traffic Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mitieli Divuana said the victim is alleged to have suddenly crossed the road when he was bumped by a vehicle driven by a 38-year-old man.
The victim was conveyed to the Valelevu Health Centre where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
