Head On Truck Collision

9 February 2012 By Alan Straton

At approximately 5:50 pm on Wednesday 8 February two trucks were involved in a nasty head on collison on the N2 near Hougham Park.

One truck carrying bricks into Port Elizabeth and the other, a Transport 2000 truck, carrying wool out of Port Elizabeth met head on whilst negotiating the temporary road markings and signage.

Both drivers dead – one in the fire and one on impact. A short set of brake marks lead up to the accident.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
