Floods causing numerous accidents on Cape Towns roads

The cold front that has hit Cape Town the past weekend has caused disasters in many homes across the Mother City. We saw the mighty Camps Bay flooding all the way through to the Cape Flats. People were hit by flooding even when they stayed in doors.

Those of whom, who were daring enough and took to the roads, were either  caught up in traffic due to the flooding or to drivers driving at an extremely slow pace. But to a specific driver who just could not wait, found himself wrapped around a tree on the M5. 

I cant wrap my mind around to how he managed to wrap himself around a tree, knowing how dangerous speeding is in such weather!!!!

Did a bit of more research on it, there were two guys, brothers, a 24 year old and a 14 year old. No survivers, sad.

ok, im not judging and taking a completely backfoot approach here, but who the hell took those photos? i mean there were clearly no survivors, anyone can see that, and yet someone pulled over, whipped out their camera and took 6 photos from different angles of one of the most awful accidents ive ever seen and posted it on the net. my biggest condolences to the family of the boys and with repsect whoever took those pics and put those up, needs to take a bit of a look at themselves!
