FORCEFUL action by traffic authorities is required to once and for all change motorists’ behaviour and put a stop to the ongoing carnage on Zululand roads caused by reckless driving.

That was the sentiment of bystanders
at two serious accident scenes in the city over the weekend.

A three-year-old boy died and two other children and a female passenger were rushed to hospital with serious injuries when a car crashed head-on into a truck in Bullion Boulevard in Richards Bay on Saturday morning.
