A 22 year old young man was travelling in his BMW when it appears that he suddenly lost control of the vehicle. He crashed the vehicle into a wall of a building at the corners of Voortrekker and 8th and collided into four pedestrians which had been standing on the sidewalk at the time.

“Sadly, one of the pedestrians was allegedly killed as a result of the impact while the other three were treated for serious injuries including broken bones” Er24 spokesperson Vanessa Jackson said. 

“They received care by paramedics and were taken to hospitals in the area by ambulance” Jackson continues.

Er24 said the driver of the BMW stood no chance as his vehicle stood shredded at the side of the road, car parts strewn for a couple of meters down the road. 

“He had died as a result of the extensive injuries that he had sustained in the crash and he was declared dead” Jackson said.

At this time, investigations are still underway as to the cause of this horrific crash.
