Jabula Plant Hire not responsible for #BlackMonday Middleburg Crash:
30th October, 2017 – Three people were injured earlier this morning when a truck collided with vehicles participating in the #BlackMonday motorcade protest action against farm attacks.
Pictures posted on social media groups blamed Jabula Plant Hire (Pty) Ltd for the accident.
However, Jabula Plant Hire has confirmed that they were not responsible for this collision. Jabula Plant Hire spokesperson, Jaco Pretorius says, “While we are greatly saddened by the accident that took place this morning we would like to clarify that the cause of the accident was not due to the negligence of our driver or caused by the truck he was driving.”
“The driver of our vehicle was trailing another vehicle from an unknown transporter at approximately 15 Km/h when he saw the commotion ahead of him as well as the slow-moving traffic due to the motorcade,” he adds. “The driver then slowed down to a stop when he heard loud braking and collision sounds from behind.”
Pretorius continues: “As our driver observed to the rear to determine the cause of the braking sound, a truck belonging to Medina Transport then proceeded to drive past our truck, ploughing into the vehicles ahead.”
“According to the driver it appeared that the driver of the other truck lost control of his vehicle while trying to avoid the slow-moving cars,” Pretorius explains.
“We would like to re-iterate that although our truck was pictured in the photographs taken, our truck was not the truck that ploughed into the vehicles and in no way was this incident due to any wrong doing of Jabula Plant Hire’s driver,” he adds. “An investigation is underway and we will release DriveCam footage from the Jabula Plant Hire vehicle which will be made available to news outlets as well as to the necessary authorities to aid in their investigation.”
“Jabula Plant Hire will do everything it can to assist the necessary authorities,” Pretorius says.
