Two teens die in separate Father's Day crashes in KZN
Two Pietermaritzburg families are mourning the loss of their teenage sons killed in separate accidents on Father's Day. Online tributes have been pouring in for 16-year-old Maritzburg College pupil Daniel Janneker, who died in a motorcycle crash on Sunday. Janneker, a grade 11 pupil at the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands school, died in a crash on the N3 between Balgowan and Nottingham Road. Midlands EMS spokesperson Roland Robertson said advanced life support paramedics were dispatched to the accident scene on the N3 southbound. 'On arrival, it was found that a 16-year-old had no signs of life and was declared deceased on the scene. Another person sustained moderate injuries and was transported to hospital.' Maritzburg College confirmed Janneker's death, saying it was with profound sadness that it shared the heartbreaking news of the youngster's death. 'Daniel was a young man of exceptional character — kind, humble and respected by all who knew him. His warm smile, quick wit and generous spirit brought light and unity to our school community,' it said. 'A proud and passionate member of the College cycling team, Daniel led with heart and inspired with humility. His legacy of integrity, empathy and excellence will live on in the hearts of his peers, educators and teammates. 'Our deepest condolences to Daniel's family, friends and all who are grieving this loss. We stand together in sorrow, but also in gratitude for the time we shared with such a remarkable young man. Rest in peace, Daniel. You will never be forgotten.'
