The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Fiji is carrying out its own investigat­ion in regards to the death of two Korean nationals in a three-vehicle crash on the Queens Road last Saturday.

This was after the truck they were travelling in crashed with two other vehicles which were involved in the accident.

The investigat­ion has been confirmed by a senior level source within the embassy who did not want to be named.

The two Koreans were in a delivery truck belonging to Grace Road when the crash happened. Dead are Tomasi Bulitavu, Sanaila Ruitoka, Atilai Ruitoka, Marika Rua and two Korean nationals. A Grace Road employee from Navua who wanted to remain anonymous said the two Korean nationals were delivering food items when the crash happened. A team from the Fiji Sun drove down to Navua for an interview with representa­tives of the Grace Road Company, but were informed by the security guards at the company compound that it was a Sunday and they could not enter. Questions have been sent to a Grace Roads representa­tive, but no response was received by the time this edition went to press.
