Twenty-four crime prevention wardens under training at Dunnottar Military Base in Ekurhuleni were injured when a female military officer drove into their platoon on Friday. The 36-year-old officer, who is based at the navy base in Pretoria, was not expected at the military base, and her presence there remains unexplained.
A source at the scene told Scrolla.Africa that the driver seemed disoriented and even excited about causing the accident. “She was moved to a duty room after the accident, where she continued to break all the windows,” the source reported.
Gauteng SAPS spokesperson Colonel Noxolo Kweza stated that Dunnottar Police are investigating the incident as a case of reckless and negligent driving. “At this stage, 24 members were injured and transported to the hospital for medical attention. The suspect was released after consultation with the senior public prosecutor for further investigation. The docket will then go for a decision at Nigel Magistrate Court,” she said.
