Easter road death toll rises

Traffic authorities across the country have again appealed for sense to prevail on the roads as the accident death toll continues to climb.

Traffic slowed to a crawl to the coast and to Zion City Moria near Polokwane yesterday but law enforcers fear that drivers could increase their speed today.

In yesterday’s worst accident, 11 taxi commuters died and four others were critically injured when two taxis collided head-on on the N-Four in Mpumalanga.

Four members of the same Cape Town family, including a six-year-old girl, died in a crash on the N-One near Springfontein in the Free State.
