Western Cape traffic officials said on Saturday the driver of an SA Roadlink bus involved in an incident near Beaufort West may face various charges.
The bus was towing a trailer on Friday night when it became detached. The trailer then smashed into a barrier. Forutnately no one was hurt in the incident.
Provincial traffic’s Kenny Africa said the trailer was found to be unroadworthy.
Roadlink buses have been involved in several accidents on the Cape’s roads in recent months. The Provincial Transport Department is still considering taking action against the company.
“We took the bus, as well as the trailer, to the testing station. They were then taken off the road because there were no brakes on the trailer and [they had] smooth tyres,” he said.
