How did he survive
Wendy94669657 Shouldn't we also arrest the city officials who didn't mark the hazard - nor put up any hight warning measures?
It appears he wasn’t even supposed to be anywhere near the accident site… so yes, charge, investigate and prosecute
My question is who authorized fire fighters to go an extinguished a gas fire, body count would have been less.
He's being made into a scapegoat for the loss of life that was completely preventable, if we had adequately trained emergency personnel and metro police that weren't incompetent and corrupt...
Words will never qualify how helpful your guidance and support has been. I am eternally grateful for your support,Thanks Mr. Mark to me of a truth MarkMaynardq is the best. I’ve withdraw countless times from your platform
....was it the first time the driver uses this route?
i will always be thankful to God for giving me a reliable source no more lost,. through Brandonkaren11 Bitcoin mining investment platform
Where was his assistant? Was he driving alone KZN to Botswana transposing hazardous goods? Was the route approved? If he made his own detour, did the fleet controllers contact him to warn him about the hazard
Private Hospital Mmm....
So this driver had minor injuries🧐 He clearly understood the danger
They can't arrest someone who tried to warn people to stay away from the danger before it occurred. The driver will win the case.

Is that really him? Foreign drivers run away from accidents, companies organise a legal local driver to hide non compliances. It's illegal to get away from accidents without police first. That bridge is 200 from police station. Police were there within a minute.

Private hospital.... Ok.
They need to arrest the company CEO who he works for. Did their safety Officer and logistics manager do the route risk assessment? Before sending the driver that route? Too many people could go to jail in this case

I wonder what the charges are? Or it's just for popularity. This is if he had followed all safety measures after getting stuck and onlookers ignored him.
