Financial Manager Dies in Horror Crash

A 33 year old Financial Manager of a well known car company in Pretoria has died in a horrific crash this morning.

At approximately 09h15, ER24 received a distress call from Traffic Net. A member of the public who witnessed the crash described it as horrific when she phoned it through to Emergency Services.

When paramedics arrived on the scene of the crash at the N1 Brakfontein Interchange, they found the 33 year old motor biker wedged underneath the barrier next to the highway with his bike lying about 100 metres from him.

It is appears that he lost control on the bend travelling towards Polokwane (North) and crashed into the barriers. According to the witness on scene, there were no other vehicles involved.

Paramedics determined that he sustained major injuries to his body and especially his legs. Unfortunately there was nothing paramedics could do on the scene to resuscitate him. It is believed that he died on impact. He was declared dead on scene.

The Pretoria Police (Wierdabrug SAPS) attended to the scene and will conduct an investigation into the cause of the crash.

Paramedics had to phone several numbers before they could get hold of family. No immediate family could be reached at the time.

The highway's slow and emergency lane was closed for traffic during the investigation.
