Roderick Louskitt het op \u2019n mistige Dinsdagoggend ouderge\u00adwoonte werk toe gery toe hy vandeesweek in \u2019n ongeluk omgekom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Idasvallei-inwoner was in die dorp se rigting onderweg op die Helshoogtepad langs die Nietvoorbij-sokkerveld. Volgens inligting het die 42-jarige op die voetpaadjie padgegee vir stappers en in die proses in die pad beland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Aankomende vragmotor het glo probeer uitswaai vir hom, maar Louskitt het sy kop teen die bak van die voertuig gestamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Stellenbosser het vertel werkers van die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit het n\u00e1 die ongeluk ingespring om te help en ook verseker dat Louskitt bedek was voordat nood\u00adpersoneel op die toneel was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lt.kol. Monique Fortuin, die stasiebevelvoerder van die Cloetes\u00adville-polisie, het bevestig die polisie het om 06:45 op die toneel gereageer waar \u2019n vrag\u00admotor en fiets betrokke was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Familie was Dinsdagoggend op die toneel waar noodpersoneel die toneel opgeruim het en verkeersbeamptes verkeer op die besige pad gere\u00ebl het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edwin Clarke, Louskitt se pa, het op die toneel ges\u00ea sy seun het daagliks fiets gery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was gereeld op sy fiets \u2013 elke oggend en elke aand. Ons bly in Cloetesville, en as hy kom kuier het, het hy uit Idasvallei gery. Dit was maar sy ver\u00advoer,\u201d s\u00ea Clarke oor sy oudste seun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy ma het in September verjaar en ons was almal weg vir haar 60ste verjaarsdag. Ons was almal Hermanus toe \u2013 ek, die vrou en die kinders en die kleinkinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNet gisteraand het ons almal nog op die familie se Whatsapp-groep gepraat en ou foto\u2019s van hul kinderdae gedeel, en dat d\u00edt nou vanoggend gebeur . . .\u201d vertel Clarke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louskitt laat sy vrou, Janine, en drie kinders agter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Saak van strafbare manslag word deur Cloetesville-polisie ondersoek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
