Teenager Dies in Bike Crash
An 18 year old teenager has died this afternoon on the Hans Strijdom Drive outside Shumba Valley Lodge.
It is believed that the teenager was travelling on his Yamaha motorbike when he apparently lost control on Hans Strijdom in the direction of Randburg. According to a bystander on the scene, he could not see if he (the biker) swerved
for anything in the road. The bystander arrived seconds after the crash and tried to assist the young boy.
When paramedics from Life Fourways Hospital and Discovery arrived on scene, he was already dead. He sustained multiple injuries and there was nothing paramedics could do for him to save his life.
A distraught family arrived on scene and knelt down next to the lifeless body of the young boy, clearly in disbelief of what had just happened.
The teenager and his bike landed in a ditch next to the road. Passing motor bikers from different riding clubs stopped on the scene to offer support to the family and friends.
The Johannesburg Metro Police's Accident Investigation Unit will be investigating the accident do determine the cause of the incident. At this stage no other vehicles were reported to have been involved in this crash.
