TWO East London high schools were thrust into mourning after a popular drama teacher and her son, a promising rower, were killed in a car crash at the Keiskamma Cuttings on Monday evening.
Tammy Percival, 45, who was a creative arts teacher at Hudson Park High School and her son Liam Percival, 17, a Grade 10 pupil at Stirling High School died when a truck smashed into their car.
Tammy also had links with Stirling High School where she had been a drama teacher between 2008 and 2012.
She had driven to Port Elizabeth with her three children to surprise husband Mark who had been working on the Anthem of the Seas cruise ship for 10 months and had flown home for a holiday.
The accident happened after the family was reunited and were on their way home.
Mark and the couple's two daughters Britni, 20, and Hannah, 15, escaped unhurt.
