Two people were killed after a motorist lost control of his vehicle on the Gonubie Main Road in East London. A spokesperson for Provincial Traffic Unathi Binqose says the single-vehicle accident happened at midnight on Thursday, 22 June 2023. He says the driver of a BMW SUV failed to negotiate a curve and veered off the road, crashing into a tree and lamp post.
It is alleged that the vehicle was travelling from the Gonubie Hotel towards the N2.
The driver and his male passenger died on the scene.
Binqose confirmed the death of the two men and said it is clear that speed was the main contributing factor of the accident. “It is with that reason that MEC Xolile Nqatha constantly is calling on all road users to reduce speed, as it has been said time and again that speed kills," said Binqose.
A case of culpable homicide is under investigation at Gonubie SAPS.
