A 28-year-old man has died following a road incident on Rarotonga.

Police conducted crash scene forensics on Saturday morning on the Main Road at Matavera where a fatal road incident had occurred.

The man sustained fatal injuries when he lost control of his motorcycle, after a slight bend, police said in a statement.

Police were called at 6.26am and traffic had to be diverted until investigators had completed their scene analysis.

Earlier in the morning, Police forbid one person from driving out of a nightclub car park.

A suspected drunk driver swerving on the road from the airport was reported to Police.

Two arrests were made early on Sunday morning.

A man was remanded for contempt of his court orders while a male motorcyclist was stopped near Raro Fried Chicken in town and arrested for drunk driving.
