A man has died following a car crash in eastern Tongatapu on Saturday, reports say.
Tongatapu District Officer, Siosifa Jr Lamipeti, confirmed on his Facebook account that the incident occurred at the village of Makaunga, knocking out power in nearby areas.
The victim, a passenger in the vehicle, succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash.
Lamipeti suggested that alcohol and speeding may have contributed to the incident.
This fatality follows an earlier accident this month in Niutao, next to Makaunga, where a mother and child were injured.
Tonga Power issued a notice warning of a temporary power outage to replace a damaged pole caused by the crash.
Police have yet to report on the accident.
