The Community Emergency Response Team (Cert) responded to two different accident scenes in Centurion this morning, one of which left a pedestrian dead.
Cert responded to the first scene of a motor vehicle collision on Tulip Road in Mnandi, Centurion. “The driver of a light motor vehicle lost control of his vehicle and veered off the road, causing the vehicle to roll over onto its roof,” said Cert.
“He miraculously escaped the incident with no serious injuries.” The second accident happened on the R55 near the N14 highway in Thatchfield.
Cert said a light motor vehicle hit the pedestrian while “trying to cross the road”.
“The pedestrian was fatally injured in the collision and was declared dead on the scene.”

Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the pedestrian’s death.
