A Tongan father and his daughter were in Australian hospitals after their Mitsubishi double cab ute got involved in a serious crash on the Sturt Highway between Hay and Narrandera, NSW.
Sydney’s Area News report says the crash, which occurred at about 9am Wednesday 21 involved a heavy vehicle and a passenger vehicle.
Police said two persons were got trapped in the passenger vehicle but have yet to identify them.
However a family member, who we choose not to name, has told Kaniva News the victims were Tongans.
She said the daughter was in serious condition.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
