KZN Transport spokesperson Kwanele Ncalane says more needs to be done to change driver behaviour and get the message of road safety across to motorists.
"Before the Ntunjambili accident, we were optimistic that we will make a reduction in terms of fatalities and crashes until the accident happened - which brought us to be among the top provinces that continues to experience major crashes," he said.
