SHOOT: One of the consequences of the recession are safety checks and maintenance are done less and less. On vehicle and air fleets. The result: crashes like these. Make sure your vehicle is up to date in terms of tyres, brakes and all the rest. Your life is worth the extra expense!
Four die in horror crash that destroys trees, cars, shops The runaway truck hit trees and other vehicles before landing inside a sweets shop on Annan Road, killing four people, including a pupil.
Three people died and four were injured after a horse and trailer plunged into pedestrians and a hotel in central Pretoria yesterday. Six pedestrians were walking past the Lulli Lulli Hotel when they were hit by the runaway truck.
A man yesterday described his heartache after arriving at an accident scene on the N3 highway to find his friend of 30 years had been burnt beyond recognition. The pile-up at about 7.30am near the Van Buuren off-ramp also left another woman with serious burn wounds. The accident involved nine vehicles, including two trucks.
“When I got here the body was still in the car. It was completely burnt (and) I was not able to recognise her,” he said.
