Five men were involved in a car accident at 16 mile, outside Port Moresby this afternoon after the vehicle they were traveling in went head first into a concrete slab.
The Mark 2 vehicle was traveling from 17 mile to Port Moresby when it veered off the road.
St. John Ambulance was at the scene minutes later, where officers attended to each one of them. The driver and passengers survived the accident.
Eye witness Joe Malai, in Tok Pisin, explained what happened.
