Six people, including three children, killed in tanker and bakkie head-on crash, Limpopo
Six people, including three children, have been killed in an accident involving a tanker truck and a bakkie on the N1 between Boabab toll gate and Musina in Limpopo on Monday, 26 December 2022. The tanker was transporting ammonium nitrate acid and there was no leak reported. The tanker driving on the southbound lane collided with the bakkie, which was going towards Musina.
It’s believed that fatigue and speed are the possible cause of the collision. The accident happened on a stretch of road known as Manyathela curve between Sasol Garage and the Baobab Toll Plaza on the N1 in Vhembe District. “The six who died include a 35-year-old driver, four passengers aged between eight and 15 and an infant,” said Limpopo Department of Transport and Community Safety spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene. In the same district on 19 December 2022, six people lost their lives during a horrific motor vehicle collision on the N1, south of Makhado, near Lalapanzi Hotel in the Vhembe District. Four women and two men were declared dead at the scene. Meanwhile, the MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Florence Radzilani, sent condolences to the families of the dead. “We are saddened by these fatalities and send our deepest condolences to the families that are affected in this tragic incident. We continue to plead with all motorists to obey the rules of the road, for everyone to arrive at their respective destinations alive and sound,” said MEC Radzilani. Source: SA Trucker, IOL |
