A family of four tragically lost their lives while several others were left seriously injured in a horrific motor vehicle accident along Baden Powell Drive in Mitchell’s Plain on Monday, 31 January 2022. According to Air Mercy Service, a female patient in a critical condition was airlifted to Tygerberg Hospital by the Western Cape Department of Health EMS/AMS rescue helicopter while two men and two women succumbed to their injuries. Police spokesperson Andre Traut said initial reports show that a Datsun Go collided with a minibus taxi and police are reportedly investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.
“Five people were travelling in the Datson Go, four people from the vehicle were declared dead on the scene while the other passenger was transported to a hospital… In the other vehicle, six people were left injured and also admitted to the hospital.” “It is believed that the Datsun Go was being pursued by members of law enforcement following an incident at Mnandi beach, and while in pursuit, a SAPS vehicle also gave chase in an attempt to stop the driver, who then lost control and collided with the taxi,” Traut expressed.
