Re: Accident at Kruger Gate
The one that you can see in the picture got flat going up the step and does not look too good either, but that is certainly not the cause of the accident

“The vehicle crashed through the gate travelling at a high speed, made a U-turn at reception and sped out again.”
He said Skukuza SAPS picked up the registration numbers and are following up on the matter.
The second accident happened at around 23:00. “The vehicle crashed into the guardhouse and three people were injured and were treated on the scene. The driver has been charged with negligence and driving under the influence.”
The driver appeared in the Bushbuckridge Magistrate’s Court. The outcome was not known as of going to press.
Phaahla concluded that nobody should drive under the influence of alcohol whether in the park or outside as you might lose your freedom, your limb, or even your life.

Re: Accident at Kruger Gate
Wonder if those gates are generally open and weren’t expected to be closed?
