A man who was critically injured in a car accident on Van Riebeeck Road, Kempton Park, last week Thursday, died in hospital on Monday morning.
The car, which Tyrone Botha (31) of Sunward Park, Boksburg was a passenger in, crashed into a tree on Van Riebeeck Road at around 5.20am.
Tyrone was entrapped in the front passenger seat and due to his critical injuries, he was airlifted by the ER24 Oneplan Helicopter to a nearby private hospital for further care. The helicopter landed at Hoërskool Kempton Park.
“Tyrone passed away on Monday morning due to heart failure,” said Charné Botha, Tyrone’s sister-in-law.
“My brother-in-law was a fun, loving and social guy who would move mountains for anyone, whether he knew the person or had just met them.
“This is a sad time for us. He was young and we were still hoping to create more memories with him; we will miss him dearly.”
“Tyrone lived with me and his brother Juan Fourie,” said Charné.
“He was in a critical condition after the accident. Thank you to all the staff at the hospital as they worked around the clock to keep him going but unfortunately he didn’t make it.”
“He was an amazing person and we will always miss him.”
