Two people are in critical condition at the Colonial War Memorial (CWM) Hospital after a head-on collision along Queens Road at Wainigasau near Lami, last night.

Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro said a 31-year-old Navua Town man, with a passenger, was driving towards Suva when he allegedly crossed a double solid line to overtake and collided head-on with an oncoming vehicle.

All those involved were first taken to Lami Health Centre before being transferred to CWM Hospital.
