Truck driver Sithulile Siyabonga Zulu appeared in the Durban magistrate’s court on Wednesday in connection with Monday’s 46-vehicle pile-up on the M41 in Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal.
The 22-year-old was charged with reckless and negligent driving and failure to comply with the duties of a driver following an accident.
National Prosecuting Authority regional spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara said the matter was remanded to March 15 for bail information.
Zulu fled the scene after the truck he was driving ploughed into 46 vehicles before coming to a rest on the side of the road at 8am during peak traffic on Monday morning.
He handed himself over to police on Monday night.
