Last year in November, four people lost their lives and others were injured after a Public Works Department truck had a head on collision with another truck and a minivan near Savutalele settlement in Tacirua.
The PWD truck was on its way from Suva to Nausori when it hit a small goods carrier first before colliding head on with the minivan which was coming from Nausori to Suva.
