The wife of the man who tragically lost his life in a car crash yesterday had to face an incredibly heartbreaking moment when she struggled to meet her husband’s lifeless body in a hospital bed.
As Kaniva News reported on Saturday, Penisimani Tu‘ungafasi died after a double cab ute crashed into what appeared to be a tree at a roadside of Taufa‘āhau Rd in Pelehake.
He apparently died at the scene before his body was rushed to the hospital.
Speeding and weather conditions were believed to be contributing factors in the crash.
Two persons injured in the crash were still in hospital with reportedly critical injuries.
A live-streamed video seen by Kaniva News this afternoon purportedly shows what appeared to be a male relative leading a woman to a hospital bed where a deceased person was lying.
The visibly devastated woman clung to the man’s body as she appeared to be struggling not to accept the fact that it was her husband lying dead in the bed.
With the man’s help, the tearful woman was finally able to see her husband.
Commenters on the video said the woman was Tu’ungafasi’s wife.
“Oh my, I am crying with her as I had experienced the same situation”, a commenter wrote.
“Poor woman she struggled to face it I can wear her shoes and it is of course so difficult and indeed heartbreaking”, another commenter wrote.
“Let us extend our love and support to the widow and her children during this challenging time. May they find solace and contentment through the grace of God.”
