At 07:30 this morning, an accident took place on the corner of Totius- and Dr Beyers Naudé Street, where a man riding a bicycle was involved in a collision with a car.
According to Amos Tebeila, a concerned bystander at the scene, the bicycle’s chain hit the tar road, leaving the cyclist bleeding from the injuries he sustained.
An ambulance arrived at the scene to treat the injured man.
Tebeila told the Middelburg Observer, “Cyclists are warned to be cautious when cycling during rush hours as the speedy traffic could hit them.”
