Cape Town - A Cape Town taxi driver allegedly fled the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Wednesday morning which left two people dead, and 15 others injured.
City of Cape Town's executive director for safety and security, Richard Bosman, said: "At approximately 06:50 this morning we had a motor vehicle accident where a taxi lost control and collided with a lamp pole. At the scene, we had two fatalities, one adult man and one adult woman, and 15 serious injuries."
SAPS spokesperson, FC Van Wyk said police were alerted to the accident where a taxi carrying passengers knocked into a rail, then as a result knocked into a pole which resulted in the taxi overturning and rolling.
TheCapeArgus So we are back to loosing lives on our roads.
TheCapeArgus Taxi drivers are the acolytes of the Grim Reaper. In the majority of accidents in South Africa, I’m convinced minibus taxis are involved. Zero tolerance of traffic regulations & the authorities handle them with kid gloves.
TheCapeArgus Dont know if i should laugh or cry
