At about 0650. today, police say that Traffic Officer Superintendent Hugh Denhert was involved in a damage accident while driving his motor vehicle along the Little Abary Public Road, ECD.
The Traffic Officer was proceeding along the roadway which was wet and with an oil slick on the surface when he collided with a mini-bus travelling in the opposite direction, while negotiating a turn.
No one was injured.
Reports have been received that several damage accidents occurred this morning in the same area due to the oil on the road surface, police said.
