POLOKWANE – “THE last thing I remember before waking up in hospital was two gunshots going off.”

This provincial traffic official, whose high-speed chase after a suspect through Polokwane’s streets ended in a serious collision last Tuesday, spoke to Review exclusively on Friday.

The traffic official, whose name is withheld in the interest of the ongoing investigation, told Review that the high-speed chase began on the Tzaneen road just outside the city where he and three other traffic officials were busy with speed control.

He asked Review not to release the details of the luxury vehicle involved, as the investigation was at an extremely sensitive stage.

He did, however, confirm that the provincial traffic department had footage available that identified the vehicle and its registration number.
