Flowta Posted February 25, 2009 Share Heard from Kath while on the way to varsity this morning that there was another accident involving cyclists. Kath was driving to work from Hout Bay towards Camps Bay, at Bakoven she had just passed 2 ladies on bikes (riding in single file) when a taxi tried to overtake her on a corner with a solid white line. A car came around the corner in the opposite direction so the taxi swerved back in right behind Kath, taking out before cyclists before ramping the pavement and passing Kath on her left. The taxi stopped a little further along, and the driver got out and run away. Looked like the one lady has a broken arm or collarbone. Kath and I ride that route quite often, it could have happened to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowta Posted February 25, 2009 Share From what I heard, they were moving around and obviously very sore. Police were on the scenes and the paramedics were on their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 25, 2009 Share Bastardo! Yet another example of the lack of common sense and decency (forgive the generalization - i know perfectly well that there are exceptions) in our country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
