Road Accidents Increase in W. Samoa
A NUMBER of serious traffic acci dents towards the end of the year resulted in some fatalities, and have focused public attention on road transport control. Over loading buses is a common offence in the Territory; so also are traffic violations on the part of careless drivers.
Recently, a police truck collided with a station-wagon transporting a number of schoolgirls; a five years-old girl was killed outright.
In a second recent case, a bus left the road and crashed into a coco nut tree killing three of its pas sengers.
