The SAPS Free State Diving Unit attended to various Search And Rescue incidents on Monday, 08 April 2024 in Kroonstad and Bloemfontein respectively following heavy rain in these areas. Police are pleading with motorists and members of the community to avoid flash flood-prone areas.
Since heavy rains started in the areas surrounding Kroonstad, the team was called to an unfortunate incident after a drowning incident was reported. The team had to search for a male person who drowned after he attempted to drive through a body of water. The team was called and the body of a 50-year-old male was retrieved from the water.
Another call was from Bloemfontein, where about four motorists were left stranded under a bridge after their vehicles got stuck fully submerged under water but with no injuries.
