Pretoria – Accident reconstruction experts have been sent to an accident scene where 11 people lost their lives and eight others were injured in Harding, KwaZulu-Natal.
According to the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC), a bakkie overturned on the municipal road D1079 in Harding on Sunday.
“The experts will examine the vehicle, the condition of the road, and the behaviour of the driver moments before the crash occurred to determine the exact cause of the collision,” RTMC said in a statement on Monday.
The road management agency said the crash represents a major setback in the country’s effort to halve the number of road collisions and fatalities, particularly as it seems that the vehicle was overloaded.
