Police say that both men will face charges of dinking under the influence while driving.

The incident occurred at around 9:30pm when the two were returning from a night out at a hotel in town.

They were making their way back to Lombrum.

Manus Police Commander Alex N’Drasel says the two men were speeding at the time of the crash which occurred on the left hand side of the Lolak bridge.

He said the car was badly smashed as a result of the intensity of the crash.

The two men who were engaged with a contract company at the asylum center are from New Zealand and the United Kingdom respectively but are both now residing in Australia.

Police were alerted by the nearby locals to attend to the two men.

They were airlifted for treatment in Australia late yesterday afternoon.
