Two people have been killed in a crash on Saturday involving a mortuary van on the R391 road between Burgersdorp and Steynsburg in the Eastern Cape.

The victims who are the workers of a funeral parlour died on arrival in hospital. Another passenger sustained severe injuries and was taken to hospital.

“An accident that has happened with a vehicle that we generally would not even look at with a suspicious eye even in our operations. But the fact that there was evidence of alcohol use in it is a sobering lesson to our law enforcement officers in that we need to be extra vigilant, double-check and triple check each and every vehicle that we come across. It is a sobering reminder as well to all road users that no one is immune from road crashes, so we need to be extra vigilant.

“It is one of those accidents that we feel could have been avoided if one of the drivers would’ve been a bit more cautious. It is for that reason that the MEC for transport in the Eastern Cape Xolile Nqatha is calling on all road users’ motorists in particular to be extra cautious and extra vigilant of course to take rest now and then because fatigue has been cited as one of the possible causes of this accident.”.
