More People killed on Mpumalanga Roads
The Democratic
Alliance would like to express its sincere condolences to the families of eight
people who killed when a passenger vehicle collided with a light delivery truck
between Dwarsdorp and Thulamahashe early Saturday morning.
According to reports,
the vehicles collided head-on along the D501 road near Thulamahashe, while on
route to a funeral. Bodies flung from the back of the light delivery
truck and were scattered all over the accident scene.
The other four
people, two from each vehicle, were also seriously injured and taken to
hospital.
It’s alleged that
one of the drivers might have been intoxicated and police are investigating a
possible case of driving under the influence of alcohol. The DA deeply saddened
by the continuous loss of lives on our roads.
This accident
should once again act as a reminder to every motorist out there that road
traffic accidents can happen anytime and anywhere. The DA wishes to call
on every road user to stay alert at all times, obey the rules of the road and
always ensure that your vehicle is in a roadworthy condition.
One life lost on Mpumalanga ’s roads, is
one life too many. The DA, along with the rest of Mpumalanga shares the tragic loss suffered
by the bereaved, and wishes those who suffered injuries a speedy recovery.
