Fiji Police: 15 year Old Allegedly Swept Away Trying To Cross A Flooded Bridge In Ra
A 15-year old child was allegedly swept away by strong current whilst trying to cross the flooded Nakorovou bridge in Nalawa Ra on Sunday afternoon.
The incident occurred around 4pm near Nakorovou Village in Ra.
Search efforts have been put on hold due to the unfavourable weather condition.
We are again reminding everyone to adopt all necessary safety precautions as the Fiji Meteorological Office forecasts more rain and possible flooding of low lying areas particularly in the Western Division.
Do not attempt to cross flooded areas and continue listening to weather advisories from stakeholders.
We cannot stress enough the importance of supervision regarding children who are home today.
Please ensure they are supervised at all times and limit unnecessary movement as much as possible.
