Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 89913, member: 27"] Five people are dead after a VW Polo slammed into a barrier on the R612 near Ixopo, and the province just lost six more in a similar wreck weeks earlier. Three women and two men perished, one survivor sits hospitalized, and Transport MEC Siboniso Duma dispatched a team to locate next of kin. The Road Traffic Inspectorate flagged the crash as extremely serious and handed it to the police for a culpable homicide probe. What stings is the timing. Less than two weeks back, two Polos collided head-on near Newcastle on the R34, killing six. One caught fire on impact and trapped two occupants. Duma's department is pushing a reconfigured road safety campaign built around four pillars: enforcement, education, engineering, and evaluation. KwaZulu-Natal keeps hemorrhaging lives after dark on weekends, and the R612 has a grim track record. Authorities have not released the victim's names or confirmed what caused the Polo to leave the roadway. [/QUOTE]
