The accident occured by Asaraff road walkover...thats the one after chief heading south.

they ran into the posts of the walkover BUT fayaz may not necessarily have been gheed...

imagine coming to a sudden stop at any speed...even at 80km/h there would be alot of damage

The area southbound from the walkover by chief till that next walkover is very uneven. Changing lanes there is risky even at the speed limit

Had this happen to me before.

4 of us, coming back from a hike and playing jackassness.

one fella decided to throw a bottle of water from the front to the back, then the other jack decided to pelt it back which ended up under my brake pedal.

my seat is usually a bit back as i am taller than average so i had to immediately move the bottle and as i was reaching for it, the van started to swerve into the shoulder and i had to immediately correct.

so something as innocent as that could've caused us to run off the road.

in this case i donno what were the circumstances but death is not an easy thing to accept. Condolences to the families of the fallen

If you check the guys FB page, his last post was 4 Jager bombs lined up on a bar top at around 1AM.

Alcohol was clearly involved.

dude thats nothing innocent. Thats horse playing which is in itself an irresponsible act. You as the driver have the responsibility to ensure it doesnt happen.

again monkey,,, context is important

as compared to drunk driving, speeding, racing etc.

[Drea]

Hard news to swallow, actually knew one of the guys (Kareem Simon), didn't look like any of the front seat passengers had a chance, the engine and steering wheel literally took them out. And back seat passenger was probably lying down sleeping.

Condolences to the families

With all due respect, any type of context goes out the window when we're talking about irresponsible driving, more so when life and limb are lost. Suppose, for argument's sake, someone was parked on the shoulder and just about to open their door when the van started to swerve. Suppose someone behind or beside you, with a lesser driving ability reacted adversely to your maneuver. Many a time, have I seen accidents avoided on the highway where the guilty party was totally unaware of the carnage they almost caused. Horseplay of any sort in a moving vehicle-driver or passenger, is not okay.

Whatever the circumstances, R.I.P. to the fallen and condolences if they have any family on the forum.

[Monkey Man]

he needs to come out of the "accidents happen" mind set... ALL accidents can be prevented.

[TurboSingh12]

3ZZ does reach 200km jus saying.

[mero]

Men itt playing scootch in dey car with a bottle water and saying something innocent like that coulda cause an accident yes :/

[SnipeR]

ROFL@ "something innocent". Some of allyuh does look for ting yes...

[Morpheus]

Not totally reckless by comparison, but definitely not "totally innocent"...

[abbow]

last night an almera moved a concrete divider a good distance at the end of the hw grant trace side..

he drive through the barriers at the roundabout end onto the cordoned off section of the hw and probably forgot the other end have barriers too.. hit it head on.

the sad part is there were kid(s) in the car.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Is how a##hole behaviour us deemed innocent.

One doesn't just run into that post unless something went wrong like alco, sleep or tyre failure maybe even bad drive.
