The family who lost four children lives in Plantation, and Adrian, Gerrie and Sebastian attended Laerskool Goudrand.
“They had noticed the truck stuck under the bridge on their way home and decided to see what was happening and take photos. That’s when the explosion happened,” she said.“Sebastian was airlifted to Charlotte Maxeke and died 30 minutes after arrival, and Adrian was taken to Far East Hospital and died at 19:15 that night.”
“We are struggling to accept the reality that we will no longer see the children. They were so energetic, loving and happy,” an emotional Jansen van Vuuren said. He has been charged with multiple counts of culpable homicide, negligent causing of an explosion resulting in death, and malicious damage to property.
