Two teachers who were killed in a two-vehicle crash are being remembered for their friendship since they were at Tonga High School.
As Kaniva News reported this morning, four people were believed to have been in the vehicles at the time of the crash.
The deceased were on their way from Lapaha after a barbecue party.

Sōsefo’s wife Tu’itamala Lōloa confirmed to Kaniva News this evening she was the driver of the car when the accident hit.
She said Fangufangumana and Sōsefo were best friends while they were at high school.
Tu’itamala said Sōsefo was a teacher at Lōtolu Government Middle school for about 10 years before he was moved to teach at Talafo’ou Government Middle School this year.
