Early morning and now in the early evening, again an accident on a pitch dark road, this time at a T junction with a ditch.
The driver did not see the road end and drove straight through, cutting an orchard fence and damaging the power cables.
DFW Fire & Rescue NPC was quickly on scene and secured the area regarding a live cable sparking and guided the car passengers to safety. Paarl electrical services were alerted and responded, as well as towing services, while DFW EFAR Anthea Carlse bandaged the driver for minor injuries.
The power was cut of, so now the car can be removed and the power cable restored.
The DFW is active around the Sonstraal area as there are many accidents in the Sonstraal area, especially as in the dark, the road signs are hardly visible and drivers drive to fast, a bad combination.
Luckily now, all passengers walked away.
