Deceased scooter driver remembered for his sense of humour
Willem Pretorius was riding on his scooter on Van der Hoff Road in Hercules when the accident happened.
A scooter driver who was killed in an accident in the west of Pretoria on Monday evening will be missed by his colleagues.
Willem Pretorius, who worked at the local Midas outlet, was riding on his scooter on Van der Hoff Road in Hercules when the accident happened.
His colleague and storeroom supervisor Simon Coetzer told Rekord that Pretorius was the company “funny man”.
“He used to always crack a few jokes, nothing was ever too much work for him.
“He will be greatly missed by all his colleagues. He worked at Midas for three years along with his brother, and we feel blessed to have known him for that time,” Coetzer said.
Best Care emergency services spokesperson Xander Loubser told Rekord that Willem was declared dead on the scene.
Loubser said another person was slightly injured and was treated on the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital.
Pretorius’ family were approached for comment but declined to say anything.
