Hennie VR Posted August 18, 2014 Share The cyclist name was Shown Breytenbach. Was one of our club's members (TCS). The driver in the bakkie apparently passed vehicles in the yellow lane and that is when he hit Shown.RIP Shown Edited August 18, 2014 by Hennie VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni Posted August 18, 2014 Share Out of respect for the victim, his friend, family and club members I don't think it's appropriate to post that pic here His identity is known, it's on social media.RiP Hennie VR, skipperw, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bateleur1 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Snapshot and I cycled passed the scene just after it happened. We came from the opposite side so did not have a clear view of the scene. With all the tow trucks I thought a car went into the ditch. Little did I know it is a fellow TCS member. I later learned it was one of ours. The shock only hit me yesterday. I am angry and frustrated. I was also almost taken out in a similar before. I agree the driver should be charged with murder as his actions was not by accident but deliberate. Does anybody know if the driver was identified and/or arrested? Or did true to SAFFA road user standard, fled the scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted August 18, 2014 Share Does anybody know if the driver was identified and/or arrested? Or did true to SAFFA road user standard, fled the scene? Sadly nothing seems to happen with these cases. Just look at how quiet things have gone with that guy in PE. We need a case made that makes people realise that killing people on our roads due to negligence is MURDER, and you will face serious consequences...until that time..this will continue wiledog_x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
