|||Cape Town - Traffic services have logged more than 20 motor collisions in Cape Town since Wednesday night, and at least four people have died.
Merle Lourens, spokeswoman for City of Cape Town traffic services, said wet conditions contributed to a spate of incidents during this morning’s rush-hour. None resulted in more than minor injuries.
On Van Riebeeck Street in Kraaifontein, a heavily pregnant woman sustained minor injuries during a four-car pile-up on Thursday morning.
Two fatal crashes occurred last night before the rainy weather set in. A six-year-old girl was struck by a car and killed on Vanguard Drive shortly before 7pm.
“A woman and two girls were struck while crossing the road from Vangate Mall. The 23-year-old woman was slightly injured, a nine-year-old girl was seriously injured and a six-year-old was killed,” said Lourens.
At around 9pm a collision between an Opel Corsa and a minibus taxi in Site B Khayelitsha resulted in three deaths and multiple injuries.
