MOTORISTS have been warned to be extra careful when dropping or picking children at crèches and schools.

This came after two children were recently killed in separate incidents in North West.

Community safety and transport management spokesperson, Daddy Sebolecwe said: “A five year-old boy was killed at a crèche in Mahikeng. Allegations are that the driver dropped him at his crèche, but he did not see him when he reversed the vehicle. He allegedly knocked him down and killed him instantly.

“In Taung, a six year-old schoolboy was also killed after he tried to cross the road while waiting for his school bus,” he said.

Sebolecwe added that motorists have to be cautious to avoid loss of life especially when they pass through crèche or school environments.
