Highway robbers strike again
When her car came rest in the nearby veld, she was confronted by three men and robbed of her belongings.
“TAKE the highway when you drive home from work at night,” is common advice, but what if the old roads have become safer in the interim?
On Monday evening this week stones were placed on the N2 south about 400 metres from the Umgababa off-ramp.
“A woman was travelling toward Umkomaas when she hit the rocks, causing her vehicle to spin out,” said Chris Botha, spokesman for Netcare 911.
When her car came rest in the nearby veld, she was confronted by three men and robbed of her belongings.
Netcare 911 paramedics found the traumatised woman at the roadside. She was treated at the scene before being taken to a hospital in Amanzimtoti.
Police urge that suspicious activity along this route be reported to the Umkomaas SAPS at 039 9736100.
