A person has died after their truck crashed into trees in the Neiafu village of Vaipua.
The crash happened in the afternoon near Taoa.
Neiafu Town Officer Vava Lapota, who took the photo at the scene, said the deceased was Lisiate Tone.
The fatality comes amid concerns in Tonga at the number of reported fatal crashes on the main island of Tongatapu.
As Kaniva News reported this week, a two-car collision at Vaolōloa on Sunday claimed the life of a medical doctor.
Viliami Lavemai died after it appeared that alcohol was a factor in the crash.
That incident followed the report of a massive vehicle accident that occurred on Hihifo road at Hōfoa, where a young sister and brother died.
Reports claimed speed had been a factor in that double tragedy.
