Koos Klopper

The ultimate challenge on the Hub should be a thread, doesn't really matter the topic, and the challenge is to see how long everyone can get along before things get heated.

strength and love to his family !

reading this just shakes me. I am cycling home in 10 minutes. So I know at any moment a car can take me out. And in SA there are no laws anymore. Last week I stopped at a Stop. A truck decided not to stop, so I stopped way over the line. Just about to take off a black dude in suit and all in his BMW just skipped the Stop. He had the bloody cheek to say sorry and all that poo that they can spew, but still tried to hit me, and all this while laughing at me.

 

I hope that Koos will make a full recovery. It is always so sad to hear of these things...

Update on Koos's situation?

Update on Koos's situation?

 

yes please jason

[Zeffer]

News yesterday on his injuries were incredible. Sounds like 6 ribs broken in front, few in the back which damaged a lung, lower part of his leg badly broken or vergruis....

 

But the Koos we know is strong enough to see this one through. Ons dink aan jou ou grote.

Vergruis does not sound good.

Vergruis does not sound good.

Indeed, sounds bad

Morning everyone, i as was on the scene the morning of Koos accident, and what a terrible thing to see specially if you a newby. It is horrible what happened to Koos and my best wishes to him, i just wish i could do more on the scene to assit him, but welldone to Netcare 911 who gave him the best treatment possible. I assited the lady who loaded his bike into her car and it was terrible to feel a bike that was broken in half.

I need to tell you all about the the lady that hit Koos and sometimes we here stories from everyone, i was there so i will tell you all.

Yes, there were witnessess on the scene and good reliable witnessess who saw everything.

Yes the lady was there, that hit, but she was there till the end till they put koos in the ambulance and drove off, only then did she leave.

Yes, the police was on the scene and i made use of contacts to get them as fast as possible to come to the scene.

the police took all the relevant details of everyone and informed as a case will be open and a detective will be in contact.

I dont say what she did was right, it was far from that, she was also shocked and worried.

When they put koos into the ambulance she asked the lady that also stopped if she can get Teressa number to call and find out how he is doing

I will try and keep you posted wrt the case and what is happening.

[DIPSLICK]

THANKS DOUBLETRIRIDER, well i hope no one called the serbs BEFORE ALL THE INFO WAS AVAILABLE.

just shows how everyone jumps to conclusions and how sensationalism works. All we heard is "she left her number" and everyone jumped to wild conclusions. I cant comment on her driving and going through the light may well have been an accident, or she may well have been reckless - it is up to witnesses and investigators to determine that

 

Heal well Koos

Too right, cuz you were going to need bigger capitals and I dont know if they make them that large.

[Super J]

Update: I've just been to see Koos, and there is a vast improvement,the bodily swelling has gone down, his colour is back and he is very stable! Theresa and I spoke to the Dr and he is very happy with the condition! They are slowly reducing adrenaline and are slowly going to bring him out of sedation and see if he can breath on his own! Its looking good! Doubletririder, thank you for all you did,Theresa is trying to contact you but I think your cell number is written down wrong, so please get hold of me. The real issue with the lady was that she never reported the accident to SAPS within 24 hours, but she did go yesterday with Theresa and has admitted to going through red, so that's all sorted! We just need that witness statement please... I would just like to say, guys, we all know this can be a dangerous sport on dangerous roads, but I like to "believe" that no person would purposely run a cyclist down.
