ALBERTON – After the horrific accident on Tuesday morning October 14 on the N12 east highway, many news reports have stated it was a petrol tanker which lost its brakes and crashed into over 40 vehicles.
This report is untrue. It wasn’t a petrol tanker but a heavy goods truck which careered out of control.
Latest reports say it was a truck carrying cement which actually caused the accident.
Reports are still sketchy and we will keep you updated.
