THE HILL – The victim’s niece, Marlane Bystydzienski, and a local estate agent were going to show the woman a unit in Linmeyer Gardens, when the accident occurred.
“We had just stepped into the road when the estate agent pulled me by the arm and the BMW hit my aunt,” said a traumatised Marlane. The victim’s body was hit at such a force she landed up far from where the BMW hit her.
Netcare 911 attended the scene, which was cordoned off. The victim’s body was taken to Hillbrow mortuary for an autopsy.
“Cars race down here all the time and we have been asking for speed humps for years,” said a woman who lives on Plinlimmon Road. “It’s always the case, when someone has been killed then something mayget done. It’s too late now for this poor woman.”
According to information from witnesses at the scene, the driver of the BMW was arrested.
