Ratu said the accident is also a wake up call for young drivers who are often seen speeding around Honiara.
He said the unfortunate accident reminds the public on the need to be careful when behind the wheels and to be responsible on the road.
The Chief Supt. warned that there will be zero tolerance for drink drivers during the festive season.
He said the accident that has been described by witnesses as the "most horrific" involves teenagers from two very prominent families in the Solomon Islands.
