Seven people lost their lives in a horrific ‘head-on’ collision accident on N14 outside Vryburg on Sunday. North West MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management, Sello Lehari said two sedans both registered in Gauteng Province, were traveling in opposite directions when they collided about 80 kilometres from Vryburg towards Kuruman.
“It is a tragedy and heart-wrenching. We would like to send our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased. It was so sad that the Jaws of Life was used in a rescue operation, which in turn became recovery as all seven trapped passengers were deceased.
“The preliminary investigation revealed that four were females and three were males. Two of the deceased were identified and were from Morokweng, while the other one was from Ganyesa,” he said.
Lehari applauded those law enforcement officers who rushed to the accident scene to try and rescue those trapped inside the wreckage. He added that it was unfortunate that all involved passed on.
Investigation for the cause of the accident is underway.
