Just heard from family in Wellington that a female cyclist was killed outside Wellington this morning.

Not sure what happened.

All I heard was that she was busy training.

Anyone got more info?

 

 

Breezer, terrible to hear this. Especially in an area where I cycle often. Do you know what happened?

 

 

Very sorry to hear about your friend Breezer. Unfair that we have to risk death just to participate in something we love

 

 

RIP

 

Has anymore details been released?

 

 

Not that I know of, couldn't find any on social media and nothing in the newspapers.

It happened just outside Wellington, en route to Hermon, at around 6am. A young, barefooted guy from Stellenbosch hit her while she was driving in the yellow lane. He hit her so hard that there is literally nothing left of her bicycle - just tiny pieces of metal and rubber. Her body was in such a bad way that the paramedics didn't allow her BF to identify her. She went through his windscreen. There was a lot of oil under the car, they believe he wanted to drive off but then the car ceased. He was taken away in a police van after someone at the scene insisted he be tested for alcohol.

 

So why does he get to live? He destroyed countless lives because of his recklessness / intoxication. Will he even spend time in jail? This is SO unfair!

Thanks for the info LC89

 

Like you say, countless lives destroyed. Just because of one idiot's recklessness. So unnecessary. 

 

RIP Dalene Boonzaaier.

 

Strength to her friends & family.
