Lance Roberts Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Just saw this on News24, don't have any more information, seems to be a commuter. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Cyclist-killed-outside-Pretoria-20150817 A cyclist was killed on the R104 near Bronkhorstspruit on Monday morning, paramedics said. The man, in his 30s, was knocked down by a truck while on his way to work, Netcare 911 spokesperson Santi Steinmann said. He died before paramedics arrived. The cause of the accident was not yet known. RIP
HBO Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Sad, I passed a cyclist om Saturday that was hit by a taxi in Lynnwood. apparently the taxi just swerve of the road and stopped in front of him. Fortunately there was motorists who saw everything and assist him and took him home. He was a bit bruised, but didn't look too serious. The arrogance of the taxi driver was just to much to handle. He wanted to leave the scene because according to him, there was no accident. He didn't do anything wrong.
BenReaper Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Always sad to hear such news,RIP fellow cyclist/comuter and strongs to the family.

My wife was very, very nearly run over yesterday by taxi who just simply skipped a 4-way stop sign as she was in the crossing and drove off. There is just no regard/respect for life...
canadonis Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Terrible news. Sends shivers down my spine as this can easily be me with the current disregard for cyclists lives on SA Reds and my family hearing this dreadful. RIP
