While Ngomane claimed it was the woman who crashed into her car, the woman clearly did not agree and obscenities ensued as a result.

Ngomane said she was on her way from work when she noticed the driver of the car in front of her had lost control.

Ngomane said: “I slowed down to make sure that I maintain a safe following distance [as I was]. The car then hit a lamppost and stopped moving altogether, the driver seemed to be in a fit-like condition and then became unconscious. We then called the police …”

As they were waiting for police, the woman in the video allegedly crashed into their car.

“Instead of apologising, she cursed me out, slapping my phone out my hand [and it hit my face], threatened to ‘beat me up’, calling me names. But the final straw was when she used the k-word!”
