Deadly stretch on SA roads - Yahoo!7 News

Saw this last night when i was working, never go to see the car as the road was blocked off, this is the second accident in the same spot within this year, i believe a 5yo boy was killed when he was hit by a car at exact same spot
feel sorry for the 22year old family.

i dont know what to say. its sad to see anyone lose their life in such a horrible and horrific way. especially so young, why is this particular stratch of road deadly? is speed the main contributing factor? is it poor road maintenance?

well its a 60kph road, but its right infront of a small shops centre about 10 shops and a school crossing, the road is in reasonable condition, but i rekon it could drop speed to 50kph as its sad its young people dying on this road

I think you'll find speeding and/or driver inattention were to cause for this crash. If you lower a speed limit based on this, we'd all be waking everywhere.

The little boy that was hit on the same road that your talking about didnt die, he has returned to school actually!

i wouldn't say the stretch of road is dangerous All of the time, i used to live just off it. it was a popular spot for the hoons out that way for drags and burnouts so was mckenzie rd just up the road from where the crash was.

I agree with stealthy with what he said. I think it is sad that people have lost their lives but if we lowered the speed limit on every road that a child or anybody for that matter, dies on from a car accident we'd all be doing 10km/h.
