“Reaction officers assisted Enslin in detaining the driver who was allegedly under the influence of alcohol,” he said.

Saps attended and the driver was handed over to them.

“A big thanks to Road Traffic Inspectorate, Med-Evac, Trauma 911 and EMRS. Also thanks to residents, Stefan and Natasha from Border Road for bringing blankets and items for the injured people,” said Pypers.
