cyclewife Posted April 14, 2010 Share How's this... My brother in PE got hit by a car today...guy turned infront of him. The good citizen travelling behind him, stopped the perp and waited for cops and ambulance to arrive. When my nephew got there, he went to chat to the cops but was told to bugger off...(sure that nephew was not too friendly considering his father is lying in the road) To cut a long story short...nephew complied and went to his father at the ambulance.... LOW AND BEHOLD...when he looked again, the COPS & the PERP had left the scene. No registration numbers where taken...what for..the cops where there - not so? WRONG!! if you are in an accident and coherent - or you are a bystander...use the cellphone camera and take pics. So much for our "officers of the law"...

wisecrack Posted April 15, 2010 Share Glad he is sort of okay. Very dangerous piece of road to cycle on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Posted April 15, 2010 Share Heard about the story this morning. Considering the police seem to be protecting the "very guilty" driver, something doesnt seem right here. Probably an off duty police officer!! Who had a good party the night before!!!Hmmmmm!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisecrack Posted April 15, 2010 Share Hmmm...talk about making assumptionsEasy way to find out who was on the scene is to go to the station commander of kabega SAPS lay a complaint and let them check on the vehicle tracking system(most SAPS vehicles is fitted with them) who stood off there at the time of the incident. Surely the nephew would be able to point out the officers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Zone Posted April 15, 2010 Share That is absolutly pathetic. You must register a complaint with the independent complaints directorate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclewife Posted April 15, 2010 Share Thanks Wisecrack and gummibear. They have one of the cyclist dad's who works at the station looking into it for us. I'm sure it's the same road of Andriette's accident. Nephew said he'd be able to identify the cops... So trust the tracking system was working...you just never know. I'll keep updates coming..will be interesting to see how things pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldie Posted April 15, 2010 Share typical - please keep us posted - you will definitely be able to track these guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclewife Posted April 16, 2010 Share Well well well.... the description of the car was spot on (can't really miss this beauty)...cause some cyclists rode past it this morning...alerted my brother's son...who went and took these. You can see where impact occurred....broken window etc. No wonder his shoulder is dislocated and he has broken ribs. Ouch! So if you are riding your bike in PE...watch out for this asshole. My brother tells me that the driver looked him straight in the eyes....just carried on turning. The car has the broken window - dented bonnet - and paint from his bike on the car as well.... They are tracking the cop car that was called to the scene and these photo's will accompany the case they are opening against the driver as well as the two cops that drove away from the scene. May Justice be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
