Tumbleweed Posted April 18, 2012 Share A cyclist killed when he was struck by a light motor vehicle on the Old Vereeniging Road in Alrode, Alberton this morning. The incident is purported to be linked to road rage.The cause of the incident and the series of events preceding it remain uncertain and will form the subject of a South African Police Force investigation.Common cause information suggests that a minibus taxi force a vehicle from the roadway following an altercation in traffic. The car then struck the cyclist who was flung from his bicycle.Netcare911 Paramedics arrived at the scene to find the cyclist in a critical condition. Despite their best efforts to stabilise the man, he succumbed to multiple injuries he’d sustained. No one else was injured in the incident.

Beer4Recovery Posted April 18, 2012 Share So sad. It is getting too dangerous on the roads in Gauteng. I only do cycling in VERY quiet back roads or dedicated cycling venues like Groenkloof, Van Gaalens, MTN Bike park etc. I hate the city....
