Cippo Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 From initial reports I have is a group of rider's were standing on the side of road on top of Suikerbossie towards Hout Bay. A car travelling in the same direction struck one cyclist and he was flung approximately 50m down the road. I was told as I arrived at scene that driver had been arrested. Fire department and 2 doctors were treating cyclist. Not to say much but he has some serious injuries but is stable from all reports. Please keep him in your prayers and be safe out there.
Cippo Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 Pictures from scene, you can draw your own conclusions.

Andreas_187 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Jesus christ WTF is wrong with people these days. At this time of year there are usually 20 people taking a rest at the top there
Pure Savage Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Driver arrested for drunk driving. Strength to Yacoob and his family during this tough time.
Pure Savage Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Police refused to draw blood so the PPA put pressure on the SAPS and officials to take sample and prosecute!! Proud to be a ppa member! Updated for actual facts.
Capricorn Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Police refused to draw blood so the PPA got their own pathologist to come draw his blood on scene!! Proud to be a ppa member! is any of that legal??? meaning, cna the cops refuse? is there no accident scene protocol for taking blood when alcohol is suspected to be involved, and can a private entity enter the chain of evidence in a criminal matter?
derickmuller Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 i heard from a source that the police didnt take blood because the drunk driver was drinking alot of water...what a shitty excuse not to take the blood...if you kow his is drunk test him there and then no matter what...
Eddy Gordo Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Any excuse from police not to do their work., even traffic police. They much rather drive around, park on a corner, sit behind a camera or catch an nap somewhere than do actual w9rk.
