M5 fatality with "Hawks" (GTi) Complete Video

"Ghost Squad" driving at high speeds through traffic. Arriving at a horrific accident.
Drive safe on the roads please South Africa.
Don't drink and drive

[@thitja]

Traffic cops?? All I saw this 6 mins was 2 vehicles rushing to a scene that's already attended and ok.. Maybe they needed assistance there but to get there seeing them runing like lunatics giving handshakes while paramedics trying to save the guys life! And note not one traffic official from all that are at the scene is actually guiding the traffic!! Just smiles videos and handshakes!! The ONLY ONES that are actually doing their job are the paramedics!!! This is a total disgrace and lack of professionalism!!

[@martinjbooker]

So, this was an Bike accident. Already 2 traffic cars and a police van on the scene. Why did these to cowboys had to go there aswell? Traffic was ok, Road was blocked off. And why the horn aswell If they dont respond to the frikken siren they will newer respond to the horn. Or was it because a tv crew was along for the joy ride.

[@MarlonVanderLinde]

Martin Booker Why are you so sensitive to this? It works this way globally. Are you one of these 'i do what I want because i pay my taxes' locals?

[@black_knight_enviro]

Marlon ZA I'm sure the cops could've used their radios to determine if they were actually NEEDED at a scene that- by the looks of things- was already well under control, before playing Need For Speed and pissing the public off unnecessarily. Behaviour like this only serves to reinforce the perception that the guys drive like cowboys...as can be evidenced by their frequent criss-crossing of lanes. No wonder the public don't know where to position themselves on the road as the coppers themselves don't appear to have a clue?

[@ruaribond8671]

Martin Booker The Horn is connected directly to the rambler tone of the siren. So its not just the driver making extra noise.

[@YASKME007]

If assigned a task, whether other people are attending also, you just have to do your job..So whether others responded already, these guys still had to go as were probably assigned by 10111 to attend.

[@MarlonVanderLinde]

[@michaelnaicker7348]

its all for the camera...

[@casualguy393]

accident is at 4:30

[@the_katman2181]

So sad for the bike rider and his family. If the cops really want to do something about bike safety they'll come back to the M5 on a weekend night. Every weekend, in the early hours of the morning, you can hear bikes racing between Plumstead and Mowbray at crazy speeds from miles away. But I suppose weekend nights are an inconvenience for traffic cops.

[@the_katman2181]

@David Thomas It's a public road, douchenozzle. It carries people who want no part in those risks, they just want to get home. It literally is EVERYONE's business. They must go have a good time on a closed track. What part of that is hard for you?

[@sinimini]

Was it really necessary to film the dying biker? I think we all can imagine what is going on, no need to show the view at all.

[@shabsZA]

Just shows that these pigs have nothing better to do, their presence made no difference and the biker had enough caring people around him. These dumb fucks should be in Mitchel's fighting real crime but they're to pussy to do it

[@ANGELSRAGE77]

To answer your question, yes.

[@jgventer]

Well if they don't show it, how are people going to know how dangerous the roads are and how to drive responsible. Don't be an observer. Help the police by not driving like assholes, let them through.

[@adtvandietv]

Really...?!! This is KZbin. Not you-tube.

[@markgittens6074]

In UK camera man would not have been allowed to film the paramedics doing CPR. Cant believe the attitude of them officers, no compassion at all.

[@JonMcG]

I do agree with some of your opinions, what role/purpose did the ghost squad have at this accident ? was it necessary for them to be there ? Often people call for the police and are told they dont have a vehicle to respond at this time, now we know why . I personally have followed cops to see if ..A.. they are responding to an emergency , or ...B abusing there power, sorry to report , on 4 occasions , once said police have gotten through the heavy traffic , the sirens are turned off and the rush is abated .

[@Lunchyyy]

Just because you followed them doesn't mean they just used the sirens to get out of traffic. There are many reasons as to why a unit would be called off.

[@alexanderpienaar3111]

And they are needed at the scene, because they are an undercover traffic uinit, they need to investigate if someone was under the influence or what caused the accident for a statement for insurance claims and court cases, my mother is a ghost squad officer, and my uncle is in a wheel chair because of such a accident, without that statements from police, the insurance whould have never paid for the damages

These guys were traffic police. Not criminal investigation, but not private either. I have NO idea why they felt the need to get to the scene of the accident so urgently when everybody and his uncle was already there though... 😳🙄

[@PlanetJustPlain]

Kiff video bru, we South Africans are used to carnage on our roads. I used to travel the N2 daily for about 5 years. Just under that under pass one night in 2001 I saw a taxi on its roof. Bodies all over the road Why were you with the “ghost squad”?

[@shaungoosen4199]

Putting 100's of lives in danger rushing to a scene that's already under control. Pathetic. Then they wonder why nobody cares anymore to get out the way. Always escorting some power trip goverment official or an adrenaline rush joyride. Hardly ever real emergency

[@ashleydaniels1132]

typical of our SA officers. only problem is death is becoming the normal here in South Africa. the "M5" you saw was reference to a road here in Cape Town and was actually misleading,as they used a national road called the N2,M5 was the road that rider was connecting to,that bend leads you to the M5.... just a small stat: this year from the 1st of june to the 3rd,46 murders took place.....roughly 1 and bit per hour....in the Cape. yet in the normal parts of town,waaaaaay less than that. thats all gang related or robbery,etc,related murders in dangerous areas.

[@Jeffc288]

Ashley Daniels oh, there’s definitely no comparison. I just found the video misleading. I didn’t know that about the road. Thank you. And, yes, there are a lot of fatalities in m5’s. But they’re heck of a lot safer than many other vehicles out there. I’d rather crash in one than a Prius. Lol

[@DevinZA]

Fun, but meaningless response, already two marked traffic vehicles closing the lane, with another 3 or 4 SAPS vehicles on scene. Along with the two Fire Vehicles, two ambulances and 4 Paramedic rapid response vehicles. More lights and sirens won't do any more good. How did you get a ride along with the Ghosts though? That looks super interesting.

People also note that it was rush hour and they were going to a EMERGENCY if they spend 45 mins trying to get there it would be even longer getting info and clearing the scene, PEOPLE RELAX

Why the fuck did you film them giving CPR? So disrespectful.

[@joshuafleming6206]

Kinsley Lewis They didn't show the persons face so no offence, you can film someone but if you show their face then you have to ask permission, that s why on tv they cover people face so they don't have to pay them

[@Александр-у8й6д]

+Kinsley Lewis So they may show CPR and procedures being completed on TV shows like Bondi Rescue, but not here, man get over yourself

[@kinsley2108]

+Markulator The camera angles on those kinds of shows are extremely selective and permission would be sought by either the victim or the family before being broadcast. This man most likely died at the scene, is that any form of dignity for the deceased? What about privacy for the family in mourning? It's just bad taste so piss off with your shitty argument.
