KWAZULU-NATAL / 13 OCTOBER 2019, 12:59PM / ANA REPORTER

Durban - KwaZulu-Natal Transport, Community Safety and Liaison MEC Bheki Ntuli has expressed sadness at the continued loss of life following the death of eight people on the N11 Model Kloof near Ladysmith on Saturday night.

"Preliminary reports reveal that a Porsche with no number plates was allegedly speeding when it became involved in a head-on collision with a Toyota Fortuner at around [10pm]," Ntuli said in a statement on Sunday.

The Porsche caught alight and four people travelling in it were burned beyond recognition. In addition, four other people, two adults and two children, travelling in the Toyota Fortuner also died on the scene.

Traffic officials were working to find out who the owner of the Porsche was. As the car had no registration, they could not identify the deceased. A Zimbabwean identity document was found in the Toyota Fortuner, which would assist traffic officials identify the deceased.

Ntuli extended condolences to the families of the deceased and pledged the support of the department. It was worrying that there continued to be huge road fatalities, particularly over weekends.

"I'm deeply saddened at the continued loss of lives, particularly as we just laid to rest six people who died in another accident last week in Peacevale. What is most worrying is that it seems as though our motorists are not adhering to our road rules and speed limits, which in the main is leading to these accidents.

"I will be meeting with RTI officials to see how we can increase our visibility, particularly in the hotspots over the weekend. We will also continue using our October Transport Month programmes to preach road safety in all our communities," said Ntuli.

The burning vehicles outline does not look like a Porsche (not even a Panamera, since it was carrying 4) to me.

Anyway, how was the Porsche in an accident even? It's most designed to travel at high speeds, nè speeding-is-not-a-bad-thing supporters.

Sudden stops don't kill unless that needle is up there.

What impact did speeding play on there being a sudden stop in the first place, is what one can ask, as well as it's influence on the force of the sudden stop.

Ey our roads neh. Feel for the little ones

Sudden stops don't kill unless that needle is up there.

The Fortuner was not speeding.

(I mean, we don't know, but probably not...)

Ask Duduzane Zuma that question since he has already killed with his Porsche.
It would have been a real turn up for the books if he had been driving this one too.

Which vehicle was on the wrong side of the road is also important to ask, and why it was there.

Sorry, forgot the link.

I’m very amazed by how much that fortuner crushed/collapsed. I mean that kind of collapse I’ve seen on cars going into concrete pillars.. not a car.

 

[ForceFate]

I noticed many drivers of high powered cars don't put plates on their cars.

Just a sign of our lawless society.

Holy crap, that Fortuner tho

RIP

As for The people in the Porsche - drive like hell and soon you'll be there.

Could be the SUV i.e. Porsche Cayenne

Anyway, how was the Porsche in an accident even? It's most designed to travel at high speeds, nè speeding-is-not-a-bad-thing supporters.

A driver that is dumb enough to cause a head-on collision is dumb enough to kill people at lower speeds as well. Speeding is not a bad thing, shitty drivers and / or shitty cars are a whole different matter altogether.

Cayenne Turbos are pretty quick.

Lesson here is to stay off the roads at night, on weekends.

Which lends credence to the fact that the Porsche was travelling at extreme high speed.

I was looking at the pics, and the way the SUV was crumpled looks like it was dropped head first, from a dizzy height, onto a steel floor.

So because there are ass-holes on the road, we must stay off the roads?
