Accident causes 1km traffic jam
13 November 2009, 09:08
Several commuters were injured when the bus they were travelling in, swerved to avoid a minibus that allegedly came to a sudden stop in front of the bus, according to ER24.

The bus hit a lamppost on the pavement - leaving three people injured.

ER24 paramedics and other emergency services transported the injured to various hospitals in the durban area. The patients all sustained minor injuries.

Relevant authorities were on the scene and will be investigating the incident.

Traffic was affected to the extent that the backed up vehicles was noted approximately one kilometre behind the accident.

1. The place where this happened is only mentioned in the 3rd paragraph
2. And is spelt rong!!
3. Relevant authorities - WTF is that??
4. The backed up vehicles WAS noted... OMG - this is an English newspaper!?

Hey, Cape Argus editor -are you aware that the names of cities are usually written with a capital letter?
 
iol papers always do this, The Star goes beyond ridiculous in reporting grabby HEADLINES and when you finally get down to the story there's f-all to it, or it happened a month ago in some village in the kalahari.. hopeless sensationalism, worthless information.
 
I spoke to a subeditor. Apparently they're hiring AA people and the editor is so busy correcting grammar, they miss a lot and can't focus on other things.
