The fatal collision involved a Toyota Corolla she was driving and a Golf GTI. Broadhurst traffic officer, Assistant Superintendent Matlhogonolo Baraedi said the accident took place at around 12:55am.
"The deceased died on the spot after her Toyota Corolla collided with a Golf GTI that was driven by a 39-year-old man. We suspect that one of the drivers failed to stop by the traffic lights resulting in a collision," he explained. Baraedi added that the GTI had two occupants, the driver and a 35-year-old male passenger, both of whom were experiencing body pains.
They are currently receiving treatment at the Gaborone Private Hospital. He urged motorists to adhere to traffic lights consistently, even during the night. He emphasised that many serious accidents leading to fatalities are a consequence of drivers not obeying traffic lights.
"This is a serious concern as we continue to lose people to accidents that occur by the traffic lights, and in most cases, drivers will be driving under the influence of alcohol," the traffic officer highlighted.
