A photograph of the taxi which allegedly hit the bike and fled the scene was uploaded on Twitter and has since gone viral.
Motorists have called for the arrest of the driver.
The Edenvale SAPS could not confirm whether a case against the driver had been opened.
Well done to PigSpotter and all the people who helped make this go viral. We need more of this. Working together to bring an end (or at least slow down) the criminal elements.
Visit the taxi ranks please and speak to the various “Taxi Associations”, they will find him and get him off the roads.
Good afternoon
The biker that was hit by the taxi is my fiancé Glen Gerber. He has not as yet been able to open a case as he was admitted into hospital straight from the scene and they had to operate on him last night.
He has had Open Chest surgery to remove bone spliters from his broken sternum and rib that were lying around his heart and to replace his collar bone.
10111 was called from the scene but no police nor ambulance arrived on the scene.
You can contact me on 072 175 1322.
Thanks
Tanya
