KYALAMI – An eyewitness explained that the man tried to exit his vehicle and at that stage the vehicle moved and drove over the victim.

Netcare 911 responded to reports of a very serious freak accident at the drive-through section of a fast food outlet in the Kyalami area at about 1.40am on Saturday morning, 24 March.

Nick Dollman, Netcare 911 Media Liaison Inland, said, “Reports from the scene allege that the victim had parked too far away from the drive through window.
