Traffic investigators are appealing for help identifying a victim involved in a fatal crash near Talenaua in Navua on Friday.

According to traffic director SSP Mitieli Divuana, the incident took place around 1am when a 36-year-old driver allegedly hit a man lying in the middle of the road.

The victim was immediately taken to Navua Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

SSP Divuana says investigators have been investigating and have not yet been able to identify the victim. He is an iTaukei man, probably in his late twenties.

Police have released photos of the man’s clothing and a tattoo on his left arm in the hope that someone can come forward with information.
