Meanwhile, Moeti Mmusi, spokesperson for the Department of Community Safety, Security and Liaison, confirmed they are aware of the accident and an investigation is under way to determine the cause.

“I am calling on all motorists to drive with caution, especially now that we are in a rainy season and some roads are slippery. In some instances, there is mist, which can hinder their view, so drivers need to be cautious and stop if they cannot continue. Do not speed,” he said.

Mmusi also wished both drivers a speedy recovery.
