Two killed as driver avoids road block

[LazyLion]

Two people were killed in a car accident on Hendrik Potgieter Road in Little Falls, Roodepoort, on Friday morning as a driver apparently tried to avoid a road block, metro police said.

"A motorist in a Honda was travelling west on Hendrik Potgieter. When realising Johannesburg metro police officers were on a roadside check, he turned... into oncoming traffic," Superintendent Edna Mamonyane said.

The Honda crashed into a Hyundai, which was travelling East, and two passengers in the Hyundai were killed. The driver of the Hyundai was critically injured and taken to hospital.

The driver of the Honda was allegedly drunk and was arrested on the scene. He was in custody at Honeydew police station.

He was expected to appear in court soon to face charges of culpable homicide and reckless or negligent driving, Mamonyane said.

This is just so sad, it should have been the Honda driver that died and not the two in the Hyundai.

He will. Happened here in Toti. Well known businessman got drunk, drove over and killed an elderly street beggar. He spent 5 years in the slammer. Life completely ruined now and lost everything.

I regularly travel to Toti to go to the beach and check up on relatives. You up for a beer with an old charou bali?

Wow. Getting caught for drunk driving is one thing but now that guy is going to get HIV and spend a long time behind bars.

Good grief. Drunk in the morning? Really hope they don't bungle his bloods for DUI.

Murder

This sort of thing should be escalated to a charge similar to murder. Never want him back on roads. Ever.
