According to eyewitnesses that spoke to Canine Security’s Marius Jacobs, their bakkie hit the Nissan which failed to stop. The bakkie rolled onto a Mercedes and another bakkie. None of the occupants from these cars were injured, stated Jacobs.
The bakkie had three occupants, two of which are Jacobs’ supervisors and a guard that works for Canine Security.
“My supervisors were checked for injuries, but our guard was injured and is still in hospital. He had surgery on his right arm on Saturday night. He hit his head and as a result, he cannot remember the accident. We are waiting on him to regain his memory,” Jacobs explained.
He further told Herlad that the company vehicle has since been written off.
