EWN reports that one of the survivors of a fatal commuter bus crash in Cape Town this week believes the accident could have been prevented.
Three people died and 21 others were injured when a Golden Arrow bus overturned in rainy conditions on Monday. The bus driver has been suspended while investigations by the bus company and the police into the cause of the accident are underway. The Golden Arrow bus was travelling from Town Centre in Mitchells Plain to Century City when it crashed in the Athlone area. Shaheema River, who was one of the passengers on the bus, survived the ordeal and has alleged that the bus driver was speeding. "No matter how many times he was being told he's speeding, he didn't stop, you know. So, I just feel like it could've been prevented," she asserted. However, Golden Arrow's corporate affairs executive, John Dammert, said it would be premature to speculate on the cause of the accident.
