A man died on the N4 highway near the Hans Strijdom off-ramp, Pretoria, on Saturday morning after being struck by a bakkie.
The accident happened at around 10:50, according to Netcare911 spokesperson Shawn Herbst.
Herbst said reports from the scene indicated the adult male had been crossing the road when he was struck.

In a separate unrelated incident, a motorcycle burned out on the N1 between the Lynwood turnoff and N4 interchange on Saturday afternoon.

“The motorcyclist sustained only minor injuries.”
“He was assessed on scene; however, he declined ambulance transportation to hospital.”
