The victim was a passenger in the vehicle driven by a 32-year-old man who is alleged to be driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to Police, the accident occurred after 9pm and the victim was rushed to the Nausori Hospital by a passing vehicle where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Two more passengers sustained injuries and are now admitted at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital.
