This is the fourth learner that has passed away due to the tragic accident that took place at Hoërskool Driehoek when a walkway collapsed, while learners were making their way back to class after assembly on Friday.

Nagel was admitted to the hospital in Alberton after sustaining critical injuries in the tragic incident in which three other learners lost their lives and multiple were left injured after the walkway which connected two buildings at the school collapsed. Learners who sustained injuries are reported to have been transported to various hospitals in the Johannesburg area. A number of them are reportedly in a critical condition in ICU units.

The 17-year-old Roydon Olcker, 13-year-old Jandré Steyn, and 13-year-old Marli Currie died on the scene after succumbing to their injuries. The Gauteng Department of Education said the school would be closed for safety reasons until further notice.
