Motorcyclist flung over bridge, killed in N1 collision

A 58-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a collision on the N1 Atterbury intersection in the east of Pretoria on Monday afternoon.

Around 13:00, paramedics from ER24 and other services attended the scene and upon assessment, they found that two vehicles and a motorbike were involved in the collision,” said ER24 spokesperson Werner Vermaak.

“A bystander alerted paramedics that the motorcyclist was flung over the side of the bridge during the collision.”

Vermaak said the motorcyclist was found on the ramp below the bridge. “Sadly, there was nothing that paramedics could do for him and he was declared dead on the scene,” he said.

The two drivers of the light motor vehicles were assessed on the scene and found not to have sustained any serious injuries, he said.

“Police and forensic services attended the scene and will conduct an investigation into the cause of the collision.”
