Agreement Mabeo, station commander at Gaborone West Police Station says it was around 5am when the polo classic with five occupants rammed into the goods truck.

While the police confirmed that all five perished on the spot, Mabeo could not confirm allegations that they may have been returning from a drinking binge at Trekkers night club that morning.  “There is no one we can ask, because all are dead; but the car was coming from the direction of Mogoditshane, to Gaborone”.

The car crash victims include two women and three men. According to the police the truck involved in the mishap had only one person in it, the driver, who escaped unhurt. 

The G-West Police were not in a position to release the names of the victims or where they originate from, as they are still identifying their next of kin.

It is the second weekend in a row that a road accident claimed lives at the same spot after the fatal accident last weekend at Bonnington traffic lights, when a seemingly intoxicated driver lost control and rammed into a row of vehicles waiting at the traffic lights.
