\u201c \u2019n Week van verskriklike padslagting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 het kapt. Tania Helfrich, woordvoerder van die Vredenburg-polisiekluster, na die afgelope week (25 April tot 1 Mei) verwys nadat vier mense hul lewe in verskeie botsings oor die klustergebied verloor het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die vier noodlottige botsings het onderskeidelik in Paternoster op 25 April, by die Saldanha-sirkel op 27 April, in die Eendekuil-omgewing op 28 April en op 29 April in Porterville gebeur. . <\/span>Weslander<\/span> het reeds verlede week berig oor die botsing wat Maandag 25 April in die vroe\u00eb oggendure in Paternoster gebeur het. In hierdie voorval het \u2019n man gesterf en twee ander mense is ernstig beseer nadat die bestuurder beheer oor die voertuig verloor en dit in \u2019n moeras beland het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sedertdien het Weslander<\/span> beeldmateriaal van \u2019n veiligheidskamera ontvang wat die botsing afgeneem terwyl dit gebeur het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Op die beeldmateriaal kan duidelik gesien word dat die voertuig teen ho\u00eb spoed teen \u2019n struktuur bots en in \u2019n stofwolk in die lug tol voordat dit in die moeras beland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Oor die gemeenskap se bewerings dat die bestuurder vermoedelik onder die invloed van \u2019n onwettige middel bestuur het, kan die polisie niks bevestig voordat die nodige forensiese verslae terug ontvang en nadere ondersoek ingestel is nie.. <\/span>Woensdagaand 27 April omstreeks 22:00 het die bestuurder (49) van \u2019n silwer Toyota Hilux-bakkie vermoedelik beheer oor die voertuig by die Saldanha-sirkel verloor, waarna dit gerol het. Die man is op die toneel dood..<\/span> Volgens Helfrich is \u2019n polisieman van die Redelinghuys-polisiekantoor die volgende middag, Donderdag 28 April, op slag in \u2019n botsing reg van voor in die Eendekuil-omgewing dood. Sersant Jonathan Adams (32) was aan diens toe die botsing sy lewe ge\u00ebis het. Kaptein Renier Bostelmann, bevelvoerder van Redelinghuys-polisie, s\u00ea Adams het die dag van sy dood by die Piketberg-hof gewerk en was onderweg terug na die Redelinghuys-polisiekantoor toe die botsing skuins n\u00e1 12:00 gebeur het. Die bakkie waarin Adams gery het, en \u2019n vragmotor het teen mekaar gebots. Die twee insittendes van die vragmotor is nie beseer nie. Bostelmann het Adams as \u2019n \u201cbetroubare en hulpvaardige polisieman\u201d beskryf en sy innige meegevoel namens Adams se kollegas aan die familie uitgespreek. . <\/span>Die vierde botsing was Vrydag 29 April en het betrekking op \u2019n vroulike voetganger wat om 20:35 op die R44 in Porterville doodgery is. Die vrou se identiteit is nog nie bekend nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gemeet aan Weslander<\/span> se beriggewing oor botsings die afgelope paar jaar is dit opmerklik dat minder ernstige botsings as wat verwag word gedurende besige tye soos Paasnaweek in die gebied gebeur \u2013 juis omdat bykomende veiligheidsmaatre\u00ebls en gesamentlike veiligheidsoptredes ingestel word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In die stiller week of twee daarna sal daar dan dikwels skielik \u2019n hele paar ernstige botsings wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Des Paton, provinsiale verkeer-streeksdirekteur vir die Weskus, s\u00ea hierdie waarneming \u201cslaan die spyker op die kop\u201d. Die provinsiale verkeersdepartement se beplanning vir die Weskus in die nabye toekoms is om deurlopend ge\u00efntegreerde padveiligheid-veldtogte in samewerking met die munisipale verkeersafdelings in die gebied, asook die polisie, ander wetstoepassingsowerhede en met die samewerking van motoriste te hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy s\u00ea plaaslike paaie gaan binnekort \u2019n baie veiliger plek wees aangesien die mobiele alkoholtoetseenheid, ook bekend as die Booze Bus<\/span>, eersdaags weer op Weskuspaaie in bedryf gaan wees. In hierdie eenheid word die bestuurder se bloedalkoholvlak getoets en die uitslae is basies onmiddellik beskikbaar. Dit word as geldige bewysstuk in die hof aanvaar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201c \u2019n Week van verskriklike
