The vehicle was travelling from the Umgeni area, heading towards the N2, when it reportedly overturned several times and landed on its side. Seven people died at the scene and one in hospital.
Durban - The cause of a crash that killed eight people on the M19 on Tuesday was up in the air after bullet fragments were found in the interior.
Transport, Community Safety and Liaison MEC Bheki Ntuli said there were clear violations of the regulations for the lockdown. “The challenge we’re experiencing now is that we established that the vehicle may have been shot at and now this has opened a different investigation into this crash. We’ve established a bullet entry into the right rear of the vehicle. We found bullet shrapnel in the vehicle.”
“Unfortunately, seven people had already succumbed to the injuries they had sustained; four females and three males were declared deceased at the scene. One occupant had sustained serious injuries and was stabilised on the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital,” said Jamieson.Justice Project SA chairperson Howard Dembovsky said if the bullet aspect was true, then it must be established when the bullet hit the car.
