A police van has to be lifted out of roadside trees in ‘Ohonua, ‘Eua after it ploughed through the ditch and landed upside down few metres away from the road.
A reliable source has told Kaniva News the van careered across the road and went through the bushes before it turned and lay bottom-up.
The source said the incident happened close to a convent at ‘Eua’s capital ‘Ohonua.
No injuries were reported.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
