  • The Notorious East London Intersection That Everyone Keeps Crashing Into [Video]

    If you find yourself in East London anytime soon, you might want to avoid the corner of Old Transkei Road and Devereux Avenue in Nahoon.

    Or at least practice some life-saving caution.

    Since August, CCTV cameras in the area have captured not one, but three accidents. That’s not to say it’s a badly designed corner, it just has some bad luck and bad driving, explains News24:

    In the first incident on August 14, the driver suffered a stroke while driving and passed away. A pedestrian narrowly escaped being hit.

    In the second incident, captured in the early hours of October 1, 2017, (and featured in the video above) a driver came flying through the crossing and ploughed through the Hyundai dealership on Old Transkei road. The occupants of the vehicle are seen exiting the car and sustained only minor injuries.

    The last of the three incidents happened when the occupants of a VW left the vehicle shortly after it came to a standstill after hitting the pavement.

    Looking at the intersection, it’s no surprise, actually. It’s obvious how people would drive down Devereux Avenue and straight into the dealership:

    However, Shane Luck, manager at the Hyundai dealership in question, pointed out that alcohol was involved in the last two incidents, and shared the footage from those.

    How are those people climbing out of the first vehicle? I guess they were trying to avoid coughing up of damage, amounting to between R300 000 and R400 000.

    You know what they say about bad things happening in threes.

    At least damage isn’t as bad as when the truck driver ploughed into a petrol station this past weekend.
