An accident at Nuwejaar River over the N5 bridge claimed two lives. This follows after an accident caused by a truck transporting coal in which the truck driver was allegedly forced to deviate by two suspects who left it inside the road to block the traffic flow.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Apparently, another truck that was carrying maize collided with the truck already blocking the road and a bus from the Maluti Bus Services including a taxi that was making a U-turn to avoid the accident.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the process, the truck carrying maize veered off the road and landed on the shoulder of the road where the driver sustained serious injuries.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The passenger, a woman from the bus, sustained minor injuries while two people in the taxi died on impact.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A case of culpable homicide is being investigated. The names of those who died can only be made known after the next of kin has been informed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
