Premier sends condolences to KZN road victims’ families

Premier sends condolences to KZN road victims’ families

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli has sent condolences to the families of road accident victims, who passed away in separate motor vehicle accidents in the province.

A two-vehicle collision took place on the R622 Mooi Plaza on Greytown Road over the weekend and claimed the lives of 11 people, while a taxi crash on the R74 Kranskop Road left six people dead and 10 critically injured.

“I would like to extend my profound condolences to the relatives and friends of those who lost their lives due to a fatal head-on collision, which took place on the R622, R74 and N2. It is heartbreaking that we continue to mourn the loss of loved ones as a result of road carnage,” Ntuli said.

The Premier said the causes of the collisions are not yet known, as crash investigators and law enforcement authorities continue to investigate what happened.

The Premier emphasised the importance of daylight driving, as it enhances alertness and visibility.

“I advise South African motorists to exercise great caution when driving at night. Road accident statistics continue to highlight to us that a lot of fatal crashes occur in the nighttime. I would therefore like to continue to echo the importance of daytime driving, especially for long distance travels,” Ntuli said.

The Premier also called on all road law enforcement agencies to execute all possible measures to reduce road carnage across the province.

He emphasised the importance of ensuring the safety of all road users, especially during peak travel periods.

Ntuli appealed to the public to adhere to traffic rules, drive responsibly and cooperate with law enforcement officials to create safer roads for all.

The Premier further urged law enforcement to be vigilant, enforce traffic regulations, and increase visibility on all major roads to curb reckless driving, speeding and other violations contributing to road accidents.

“The loss of life due to road accidents is unacceptable, and we must do everything in our power to prevent it. I call upon all law enforcement agencies to strengthen their efforts and work together to ensure that our roads are safe for everyone,” Ntuli said. – SAnews.gov.za
