Easter Weekend Road Death Toll Down 40% - South African Minister

Minister of Transport Blade Nzimande has welcomed the improved statistics over those of last year, saying: "We are pleased that the numbers are down and we attribute that largely to the fact that we have increased the visibility of law enforcement officers which is one thing that contributes to less road crashes."

Six people sustained minor injuries in a collision between four vehicles on the N1 North bound, Hammanskraal.

No injuries reported when a vehicle was found upside down in a ditch on East Central Arterial in Arboretum, Richards Bay.

14 occupants of a mini-bus taxi sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate in a rollover on the M1 at the Crown Interchange.
