Southern Cape police’s Malcolm Pojie on Tuesday said the investigation into a taxi accident that claimed the lives of 19 people on Prins Albert Road in the Karoo was almost complete.
Two taxis ploughed into the side of a stationary truck on the N1 in November last year.
It was initially speculated that the taxis may have been dicing, but that has not been confirmed.
It is understood one taxi driver died, while the other survived.
Pojie said their probe is drawing to a close.
“We have one statement outstanding. As soon as that has been obtained we will submit it to the Director of Public prosecution who will make a decision on whether anyone should be charged or prosecuted.”
