Traffic police investigate traffic accident at Central Market in Honiara

Officers of the Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF) National Traffic Department in Honiara are investigating an accident on the main road near the Honiara Central Market on 8 August 2020.

Deputy Commissioner Ian Vaevaso says, “Information from witnesses at the scene say that a Toyota Land Cruiser veered off the west bound lane, breaking the median stripe fence and was at a stationary position in front of the Central Market Plaza, facing in the westerly direction on the east bound lane.”

“The driver was located at the scene and brought to the Central Police station. An RBT test was conducted on the driver of the motor vehicle but was negative.”

A Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) has been served on the driver of the vehicle at that very time as investigation into this incident continues.

“I want to appeal to any member of public who may have witnessed the incident to come forward to the National Traffic Department to help out with the police investigation into the matter,” says DC Vaevaso.
