CAR crash survivor Bongani Ngcobo of Empangeni has appealed to the man who saved his life, to raise his hand wherever he is so that he can thank him properly.

Ngcobo was involved in a car accident on the R34 between Nkwalini and Mtimona two weeks ago.

‘I was driving to KwaCeza from my home in Empangeni.

After crossing the Mfule bridge and approaching the bend, I was confronted by a truck driving in my lane.

‘In an attempt to avoid crashing into it, I swerved off the road and crashed into a tree.

‘My vehicle caught fire and I was trapped inside as I could not open the doors,’ Ngcobo said.

‘I then noticed a man trying to break the window and he managed to force open a door and pull me out.

‘He also retrieved my cellphone and promised to get me medical assistance.

‘I really wish to meet this good Samaritan who saved my life.
