Zwartkops Crash

While I agree that trying to land on a single lane, busy road such as the R55, he must have been all out of ideas in orfer to do so.
the open fields in that area are less then smooth and I thin the outcome would have been the same either way.
Surely he would have called in a Mayday and let the tower know of his intention?
If so, why did the tower not contact the relevant authorities to facilitate this landing?
I am not playing the blame game, but I do think that this tragic loss of life could have been prevented.
