MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Mr Bheki Ntuli will be part of the memorial service of five victims killed in a gruesome collision that occurred on R34 near Empangeni Milling last week Tuesday (29 October 2019).

It is alleged that the driver of a white delivery Nissan Heavy Motor Vehicle from Bidvest was travelling from Durban via Eshowe towards Empangeni for delivery purposes. Reports reveal that the driver of the White Nissan lost control due to a wet road surface and ended up in the lane of oncoming traffic. The driver of a white oncoming Hyundai LDV (Light Delivery Vehicle) that was transporting members of the public from Empangeni to Ntambanana swerved his car to the right in an attempt to avoid the collision, but the Hyundai capsized and landed on the right-side verge of the road.

The crash occurred at the vicinity of R34 near Empangeni Milling. Five occupants died upon impact and nine passengers were taken to different hospitals to receive medical care.
