No arrest in Boksburg crash which claimed the life of a mother and toddler

More than two weeks have passed since a tragic accident claimed the lives of Natalia Cook, 25, and her 18-month-old son Matthew in Boksburg. Their daughter Liora, aged four, and her husband Marcel, 27, are still recovering from their injuries. The collision occurred on August 30 when a vehicle allegedly struck the family's car as they turned into their residential area in Salfin.

Despite the devastating impact, no arrests have been made in connection with the incident, leaving the family in a state of frustration and seeking answers. Natalia's sister-in-law, Katheeja Chetty, revealed that Liora continues to ask for her mother, struggling to comprehend the loss. Marcel remains in critical condition at Alberton Hospital, while Liora is progressing but requires hospitalization for at least another two weeks.

The family has yet to receive meaningful updates from the police regarding the ongoing investigation and continues to seek justice for the tragedy.
