"Its been absolutely devastating throughout the week from the time the deaths were circulated on social media, but the number of messages of condolences we received from the public and organisations throughout KZN and the world has actually brought some comfort to the families."
He says the unfortunate incident has again shone a spotlight on road safety.
"It could have definitely been avoidable. We requested that the Department of Transport take immediate action. They should consider having a dedicated lane for trucks and at the same time, they can have arrestor beds and more police patrols."
