Condolences to KZN families who lost children in morning crash

Transport Minister Barbara Creecy has conveyed her sincerest condolences to the families who lost loved ones in a crash that claimed the lives of eight people on Friday morning, in KwaZulu-Natal.

Eight people died in a head-on collision between a vehicle carrying children and a truck on the N2, near Mandeni.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who have lost their loved ones this morning,” the Minister said. 

KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma, said reports indicate that a driver of a seven-seater light motor vehicle lost control of his car.

“The car went over the other lane and colluded with a truck, causing it to veer off the road and overturn. Our hearts are with families and relatives of the eight victims of the horrific road accident between bridges 18 and 19 on the N2 Mandeni.

“What saddens us is that the victims of the road accident include young people. We request motorists to drive carefully on the roads,” the MEC said. – SAnews.gov.za
