The exact details to the cause of
the accident and preceding events are unknown at this stage.
Netcare Limited Spokesperson Chris
Botha said the vehicle a white Suzuki was traveling on the north bound lane
when the vehicle veered off the road smashed through the barriers and plunged
about twenty meters before coming to rest upside down in the water with the two
occupants still trapped in the wreckage.
Botha also said paramedic, traffic

break the window and pull them from the car. Tragically both husband and wife
