A life was sadly lost, when a pedestrian (27) was hit by a white Isuzu bakkie on the N4-highway.
This happened early on Saturday morning, March 9.
According to police, the deceased wanted to cross the highway when the accident occurred.
Bystanders on scene said that neither Vosman nor Witbank Police were available telephonically to assist.
“I drove to Vosman Police Station and escorted a van to the scene,” the bystander said.
The accident happened almost underneath the footbridge that was erected across the N4-highway.
A wall was erected to prevent pedestrians from crossing the highway, but unfortunately this is still of no help.
“The community is advised to not jump the highways they should make use of the bridge erected next to KG Mall to avoid accidents,” said Const Kgomotso Maluleke, Vosman Police Station police spokesperson.
A case of culpable homicide is currently being investigated by the Vosman Police.
