The trial of the driver of the SA Roadlink bus that crashed on Christmas Eve two years ago in the ‘Maritzburg area - has been adjourned until October…
The Pietermaritzburg Regional Court heard testimony yesterday that the driver wasn’t speeding or driving recklessly just before the accident that claimed 12 lives on an off-ramp from the N3 near the Liberty Midlands Mall.
Peter Sim, whose company installs recording equipment in Roadlink buses, was on the stand in the case of Charles Vaudim who’s on trial for culpable homicide.
The bus was travelling at 107-kays per hour when tragedy struck.
People killed in the crash were Antoinette, 22, and Krystle Storck 14; Samkele Lutshaba, 20; Anna, 32, and Nomhlekaba, 8, Ndaba; Samkele Mathonsi, 4; Lungile Hlomoka, 22; Sifiso Nzuza, 24; Bongi Cele, 47; Dafney Twala, 34; Isobel Swartz, 60; and Thokozani Dimba, 34.
Pleading not guilty, Vaudim said the bus went out of control when a rear wheel burst and the bus hit a bridge, killing and injuring passengers.
