T-bone collision propels car through perimeter wall

A woman was left with minor injuries after the car she was travelling in was T-boned by a bakkie and drove through a precast wall on the corner of Trezona Avenue and Gregor Street in Mindalore at about 1pm on the afternoon of 27 January.

It is alleged the bakkie was crossing Trezona Avenue and did not stop at the stop sign for oncoming traffic. A Volkswagen Polo with two occupants was travelling towards Albertina Sisulu Road when the bakkie allegedly drove into the side of it. The driver of the Polo tried to veer away from the bakkie before the impact occurred, but did not succeed in avoiding the collision.

Rudzani Shabang, who lives in the house, said she was inside the house when the accident happened.

“I was putting the baby to sleep when I heard a big bang,” said Shabang. “When I came outside the vehicle was on my lawn and the wall was destroyed.

The road was temporarily closed to traffic while medical personnel assisted the injured and cleared the scene of wreckage and rubble. ER24, Help24, Netcare 911 and Quick Response Service (QRS) were on scene to assist patients.
