A Heidelberg motorcyclist was knocked off his bike by a taxi last night at around 18:40.
According to eyewitnesses, the taxi skipped a red robot at the intersection in Groenfontein Road (near Multivac). The taxi came from Heidelberg Mall when he skipped the red light and hit Cassie Carstens (52) who was just entering the intersection.
JP Booker said he saw how Cassie was flung through the air. The taxi driver tried to speed away and JP had to chase after him and force him to stop.
The police and emergency services were called in. According to Elzona Meyer (Heidelberg Volunteer Medics) Cassie sustained head injuries and was taken to Life Suikerbosrand Clinic.
