Binqose says a culpable homicide inquest has been opened and police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.
“This tragic accident reminds us once more that losing control of a vehicle, whether due to speed or fatigue or any other factor, can have consequences that are devastating, as we have seen in this accident. It is for that reason that we are urging road users, motorists in particular, to be alert at all times, and ensure that every journey is taken with safety as the top priority.”
