An employee of Trans African Concessions (TRAC) was rushed to hospital earlier today following what can only be called a freak accident.

The staff member, who cannot be named at this stage, was travelling westbound on the R539 Schoemanskloof Road when an unidentified drone allegedly crashed into his vehicle.
