heard reports that SAAirlink engineer had epileptic fit, causing him to loose control over his vehicle, thus causing the accident.

Snoop

Heart Attack, Epileptic Fit and latest (according to reports -unconfirmed), is that the SA Airlink Engineer had just come on duty and was actually "Driving while Intoxicated..."

Apparently (rumour), they tried the previous two reasons as a cover-up, but could not fool the Medical Experts.

I for one hope this is not the case
