Biker dies on Spring Day in Robert Broom crash
The biker was on his way to work when the tragic accident happened.
A young man lost his life in a collision early on Spring Morning, 1 September. It is believed he was on his way to work on his motorcycle when the collision occurred.
A driver coming from Bell Avenue stopped at the Robert Broom Drive intersection near the Watch Tower Society. Other motorists gave her space to move between them so she could head uphill towards the shopping centre.
The biker was allegedly in the lane she wanted to merge with and the two collided. A police investigation will be conducted to determine the exact cause of the accident.
Krugersdorp Police members were on scene to investigate the incident and were assisted by Mogale City Traffic Police.
Eyewitnesses on scene said the traffic on Robert Broom Drive towards Roodekrans from Valley View Shopping Centre was not moving at all.
