TWO CAR WASH WORKERS DIE AFTER CRASHING VW GOLF 7 WITHOUT OWNER’S PERMISSION ON R40

It has been reported by our sister Publication Tzaneen Voice that a tragic accident on the R40 in Arconhoek has claimed two lives and left two others seriously injured, raising concerns and sparking widespread reaction on social media.




The incident, which occurred on Sunday afternoon, involved a VW Golf 7, a Polo, and a side tipper truck. CCTV footage of the collision has surfaced online, showing the Golf 7 attempting to overtake the Polo.

During the maneuver, the Golf clips the rear right side of the Polo, causing the driver to lose control. The Golf then swerves into the oncoming lane, colliding head-on with the truck. Both vehicles veered off the road after the impact.



Reports on social media suggest that the Golf 7 was a state-owned vehicle. Allegedly, a car wash employee took the vehicle without authorization to purchase supplies for the car wash business.

This unauthorized journey ended in disaster, as the employee and his passenger lost their lives in the crash.




The footage and the circumstances surrounding the accident have caused a stir on social media, prompting widespread discussion and concern. The local community is mourning the loss of lives, and many are calling for stricter measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the accident to determine the exact sequence of events and the roles played by each vehicle involved. They are also looking into the unauthorized use of the state-owned vehicle.



More information is expected to be released as the investigation progresses.

The community awaits further details from the investigation while offering condolences to the families affected by this tragic event.
