Another ‘wall and all’ crash
Gerrie Smit had an unexpected, early morning visitor at his home.
NOT for the first time, an out-of-control car that hurtled through a perimeter wall in the early hours gave a huge scare to the house occupants.
The latest incident happened in Keiserskroon, Veldenvlei at about 1am on Saturday, when a young man behind the wheel of fast car failed to negotiate a bend in the road and ploughed through the pre-fab wall and into the yard.
Besides causing major damage to the car he was driving, pieces of the wall slabs also smashed into a vehicle parked in the yard.
‘We woke with a fright, thinking we were being burgled,’ said a female occupant.
‘Fortunately the young man was not badly injured.’
