A motor vehicle collided into the concrete barriers on the N3 north near the van Buuren off- ramp this afternoon claiming the life of the 37 year old driver. Exact details of the accident is still speculative however the man was driving on the N3 north when he lost control of his vehicle and collided into the barriers.
When Netcare 911 paramedics arrived on scene the man was still seated in the mangled wreckage, paramedics raced to his assistance but he tragically died due to the extent of his injuries.

The accident look disastrous to man who collide with concrete. Now days concrete are more solid than the previous ones. The concrete suppliers are also providing rigid and solid concrete which is very strong. I can feel the pain of that man who collide with concrete.

You don’t have a clue what you are talking about. 25 Mpa concrete is still 25 Mpa concrete, no change. At 2400 kg/m3 it is solid yes, always were and always will be.

Thanks for your kind reply! Yes you are right but I want to say that many year ago the scientific research on concrete material is not good enough than the modern time. Because researcher has developed new concrete material and chemicals which has increases the solidness of concrete.
