SA Police say brake failure and driver error will be considered as part of the investigation into yesterday's multi-car crash at the bottom of the South Eastern Freeway.
Nine people were taken to hospital on Sunday after a crash at the base of the South Eastern FreewayThe Premier says a third arrester bed has been discussed previously, but has proven too difficult to engineer
Superintendent Gray said he had seen vision of the smoke coming from the truck as it descended the freeway, which would form part of the investigation, as would brake failure and driver error."I would also like to remind drivers that are descending the freeway in a heavy vehicle that from Crafers to the bottom of the freeway there is a 60-kilometre speed limit, that's done for the safety of people at the bottom of the freeway," Superintendent Gray said.
"We're talking about a lot of complexity, let alone cost [although] I don't think cost is so much the issue here as I think the physical constraints in terms of which we are operating in the location."Mr Malinauskas said he would meet with the Department of Transport and cabinet today to discuss the crash and whether a third arrester bed should be reconsidered.
