The driver allegedly lost control of his vehicle, veered into the other lane, and collided head-on with an oncoming vehicle driven by a 48-year-old male who had three female passengers.
The 27-year-old driver died at the scene, while the 48-year-old driver was pronounced dead on arrival at the Nausori Health Center.
