A 49 year old woman has suffered fatal injuries after she was knocked down by a bakkie while allegedly attempting to cross the N1 highway this morning.

“Paramedics who were travelling on the highway, came across the woman lying in the road. She had been knocked down by a Toyota Hilux which was travelling in the direction of Pretoria, just before the Maraisburg road offramp” Er24 spokesperson Vanessa Jackson said.

The paramedics assessed the woman and found her to have suffered extensive head injuries.

Sadly, she had already died as a result of the injuries and she was declared dead on scene.

The driver of the bakkie that collided into her was not injured as a result of the collision.

“The local police were called to the scene and will conduct all necessary investigations into the cause of the collision” concludes Jackson.
