SAPS spokesman Col Matsholi Bhembe confirmed that a case of reckless and negligent driving has been opened.
MBOMBELA – Melanie Kruger was discharged from Mediclinic Neslpruit on Monday morning following an accident last week. The collision occurred when a bakkie allegedly skipped a red traffic light and crashed into Kruger’s car. The car was flung onto the pavement and left Kruger trapped inside.

After the accident she had a broken pelvis and back. “She was well enough to go home and recuperate there,” said Mediclinic spokesman Robyn Baard.
“We still have to take statements from both parties and we are not sure when this case will appear in court. We will also take statements from eyewitnesses and take them into account before we charge anybody.”
The Kruger family could not be reached for comment.
