A serious crash on Taufa’āhau main road today Sunday 11 has shocked churchgoers and passers-by.

An eyewitness told Kaniva News a van veered off the road and crashed into a power pole.

A man and a woman could be seen in a photo purported to show the incident lying motionless outside the van by the roadside.

Bystanders, mostly in church attires, gathered to watch and help.

Halatoa Tāufa, who returned from a church service, took the photo of the incident. He said the man and the woman were from the van.

Police have yet to release a report on the crash.

The crash came after a fatal road accident last Sunday in Fo’ui which claimed a 36-year-old man’s life.

Police suspected alcohol was a factor in that crash.
