Six people lost their lives and two others were injured — one man critically — when their car collided with a tanker on the R61 near Margate on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Netcare911 spokesman Jeff Wicks said it appeared as though the car and the tanker were travelling in opposite directions, when they collided.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe force of impact saw the car spin out-of-control and come to rest against a roadside barrier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Six adults died at the scene, prior to the arrival of emergency service personnel, while a man and woman remained trapped in the car. A rescue team had to help remove them from the crumpled wreck, said Wicks.<\/p>\n

Wicks says this latest incident is amongst a number of heavily fatal accidents that have occurred across the country in the past week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve responded to a number of motor vehicle accidents with fatalities. It\u2019s (accidents) not only confined to major routes where holiday makers are likely to travel, but also on secondary roads as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wicks urged motorists to drive with extreme caution and to pay attention to other road users as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrivers should be responsible in not only looking after themselves, but the safety of other road users too, by abiding by the laws that govern South African roads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile on Thursday, the department of Transport said it had arrested more than 1 400 people across the country, for road traffic violations. Spokesman for the Transport Department Logan Maistry said in a statement that of the total number arrested, 501 drivers had been taken into custody for driving under the influence.<\/p>\n

A total of 544,379 vehicles and drivers were checked from 1 – 18 December, with 117,061 fines issued for various traffic offenses. Maistry said about four thousand un-roadworthy vehicles (the majority of which were buses and taxis) were removed from the road.<\/p>\n

The department of Transport was not immediately available to comment on this latest accident in Margate. – IOL<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
