Amadoda amathathu ngasemva axhobe ngemipu aye akhomba ixhoba, azama ukulikhupha endleleni ngenkani. Wathi akuba engakwazi ukuma, wadutyulwa, nto leyo eyamnyanzela ukuba ayeke.
Abasebenzi banyanzelwa ukuba bangene ngasemva kwiFord Ranger, kwaye umqhubi wanyanzelwa ukuba abuyele ngasemva kwisihlalo selori. Abanye abarhanelwa ababini bemoto yohlobo lweNissan NP200 bazibandakanye nabanye abarhanelwa abahlanu. Zombini iimoto, iFord Ranger kunye neNissan NP200, zihambe kunye nabasebenzi. Emva koko baye babashiya eVeeplaas, baza ngoncedo lwabahlali, baxela ngokuxhwilwa kwenqwelo-mafutha kumphathi wabo namapolisa.
Abarhanelwa ababini baye bahamba nelori, ze kwathathwa imfonomfono zabaqhubi. Kungekudala emva kokuba behambile, bamisa ilori, baza bobabini abarhanelwa batsibela ngaphandle babaleka.
Amalungu eSAPS eDespatch ebesele ekhangela isithuthi kwaye asibona kufutshane nezitalato i-Botha ne-Jansen kwaze kwaqhutywa ugqogqo kwiindawo ezingqongileyo. Omnye umrhanelwa oneminyaka engamashumi amabini anesibhozo (28) ubudala ubanjwe neselfowuni yommangali. Ekumkhangeleni kwakhe, bafumana isixhobo sokuvala amehlo.
