Pedestrian down Constantia Nek yesterday

[sawystertrance]

I was caught in a bit of a traffic jam yesterday going up from Constantia to Constantia Nek. Turns out the tragic cause was an accident victim lying in the gutter. No crowd apart from the police directing traffic and wwhat appeared to be the drive of a vehicle which my or may not have been involved and in what I would consider an unlikely spot to be involved in an accident.

 

My mate  says he saw a bicycle and that the victim had cycling shoes on. I have not seen anything about this on the news. 

 

Anybody know anything about it? Was it an accident?

I saw on twitter 3 people said they say a cyclist knocked down but no details. 

 

RIP to the human life lost and the family.

I heard it was a guy that had a heart attack

Thanks for the info, I love the route and option to get to Chappies etc, but don't feel safe in the road, taxis always speeding.

Definitely a cyclist, saw the shoes with Look Cleats.

Only two traffic guys directing the cars.

 

Did not see any marks, broken bits or chaos, so also thought maybe a heart attack.

 

Felt terrible, nobody ever jumps on their bike not thinking they'll make it home.

 

RIP dude

Life is so short, embrace it while you can. RIP and condolences to family and friends.

I also rode past. Was definitely a male cyclist.  Ambulance, police and a fire engine all there. Paramedics giving CPR. No signs of an accident. Strength to all involved.

My mate drove past him at 9.15 en route to meet me for breakfast. When I rode past at about 12 he was still there under a blanket. Shocking.. 

 

I saw a guy stopped in a car talking to the police and assumed he was the driver of the car involved in an accident but that can't have been the case. No other signs of an accident and it is a strange place in the road for an accident to happen so perhaps heart attack is the answer. 

 

Tragic and sudden and no mention of it anywhere else.

No car or vehicle involved.
