Mangled Pedestrian on N1
Only a torso was left after multiple cars collided with a pedestrian on the N1 highway at the Maraisburg on ramp this morning.
At about 01h30 paramedics received a call for a motor vehicle accident on the highway. When paramedics arrived on the scene, they only found a white vehicle at the Gordon off ramp with a smash to the front.
Paramedics soon discovered that a pedestrian was hit about a kilometer up the road. Ambulances and response vehicles returned up the highway where they found the mangled body spread across the highway.
The body was so mangled up that only a torso could be partially identified. All three lanes of the highway was covered with human debris.
The highway is extremely dark and made it almost impossible to see the body in the road.
No one in the car was injured. We closed off the highway and Metro Police and the Investigation Unit attended to the scene.
No identification was found on or near the body.
It appears that the pedestrian tried to run across the road when he/she was struck by the car.
