Another plan for cutting road carnage

5 Sep 2013

The Department of Transport has dispatched teams of accident analysis specialists to various parts of the country after 35 people died in road accidents at the weekend.

The department said on Tuesday (3 September) it would invite logistics companies, car-rental companies, taxi associations, bus owners, fleet management companies and non-profit organisations campaigning for road safety to help curb the carnage.

"It cannot just be the government. It needs to be a concerted effort by the government at all levels, with the private sector and civil society organisations," said department spokesman Tiyani Rikhotso.

On Sunday (1 September), nine people travelling from the reed dance ceremony in Nongoma were killed in a bus accident on the R66 in Melmoth, KwaZulu-Natal. On the same day in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, a car overturned, killing six people and injuring 11. And, on the N2 between King William's Town and East London, three vehicles were involved in a crash that killed five people and left five others seriously injured.

On the N6 between Reddersburg and Bloemfontein, in the Free State, two vehicles collided head-on and three others crashed into the wreckage, killing seven people.

On Monday (2 September), eight people died in a crash on the R63 at the Hanover turn-off, between Bisho and Komga, in Eastern Cape, when a Toyota Venture drove into a stationary truck. Three people were seriously injured.
