Although the footage is not clear, the source revealed that the other vehicle jumped a red traffic light and collided with the bakkie, which was turning from Hendrik Potgieter Road into Fredenharry Road.
Based on speculation the Northsider initially reported that the bakkie had made a U-turn, which resulted in the collision. The bakkie crashed into a residential security wall.
The family member also disclosed that the bakkie driver is still in critical care in a hospital while the passenger is nursing his injuries at home.
“The bakkie driver is still in ICU but is doing better. He has fractures and a serious bump on the head. The passenger has a broken collarbone and head injuries.”
Authorities are investigating the case.
