The vehicle involved in the accident was a PMV truck named ‘Tanikiu’ that services the Los Negros LLG and Lorengau town route.
Provincial police commander (PPC), Chief Inspector David Yapu, said the driver with his crew were drunk and travelling at high speed when they ran off the road and hit the trunk of a tree at Lolak village, causing extensive damages to the right side of the vehicle.
It took a while for people to pull the crew out of the vehicle.
“He sustained a broken leg and was rushed to the Lorengau General Hospital,” reported the PPC.
