CAPE TOWN - An off-duty traffic officer has been arrested for drunken driving following a fatal accident near Hermanus in the Overberg.

Authorities say they were in one car while the off-duty traffic cop was in the other.
Provincial Traffic Chief Kenny Africa says his officer is in custody.
"He was arrested for drunken driving and culpable homicide."
