It is alleged that the driver that caused the accident was ‘arrested’ after it came to light that other motorists laid complaints about him driving at ‘excessive speed.’

The post on Kruger Idiots Facebook page reads:

‘Vehicle was hit so hard from behind that it left the road and overturned a few times. One female was stabilized by myself and the Skukuza doctor before transported by ER24 to Nelspruit. Driver of other vehicle was arrested after it came to light that other motorists laid complaints about said vehicle that were driving at excessive speed. The sad part was to see his 7 year old son being loaded with him in the back of the police van…’
