MUST READ: Multiple vehicle accident on Doreen Road
RUIMSIG – Reckless driving suspected for collision this afternoon.
Five vehicles were involved in a collision on Doreen Road this afternoon (22 March).
It is unclear at this stage what the cause of the accident was.
However, one of the drivers involved, Bonakele Nene, who came out unscathed, alleged that the driver of a silver Toyota Prado was on her mobile phone which caused her to lose focus and to drive into oncoming traffic.
“I was driving up Doreen Road when the Prado came to hit my car and I suspect that she was on the phone at the time,” said Nene.
After hitting Nene’s Kia, which veered off the road, the Prado then went on to crash into four other cars.
A mini-bakkie smashed into a tree and a red Audi veered off the road and rolled over an embankment, injuring a woman and her son on-board.
The driver of the Audi managed to pull herself and her son out of the vehicle which had overturned.
Another vehicle, a Toyota Yaris was also damaged but the driver immediately left the accident scene to rush his children home.
Heavy traffic was experienced from Doreen Road down to Hendrik Portgieter Road.
Emergency services and the JMPD rushed to the scene of the accident to attend to the injured.
