Nog \u2019n tienermeisie, ook &#8216;n leerling aan Swartberg, is ook in die ongeluk beseer en sterk in die hospitaal aan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die skool het in \u2019n Facebook-plasing die oorledene as Neo Cornelius (17) \u2019n gr. 10-leerling ge\u00efdentifiseer. &#8220;Ons harte is swaar oor die afsterwe van Neo Cornelius, \u2019n kosbare leerder van Swartberg Sekond\u00ear. Neo sal onthou word vir sy vriendelikheid, goeie maniere en die positiewe energie wat hy oral saamgedra het. Mag sy familie en vriende vertroosting vind in die mooi herinneringe wat hy agterlaat,&#8221; lui die skool se plasing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wesley Twigg, &#8216;n provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, het by navraag aan <em>Hermanus Times<\/em> ges\u00ea die polisie is omstreeks 15:40 na die toneel ontbied. &#8220;Met die polisie se aankoms het hulle \u2019n wit Toyota-bakkie op die sypaadjie van die pad aangetref. Daar word beweer dat die bestuurder van die voertuig twee mense raakgery het. Verdere ondersoek het gelei tot die ontdekking van die liggaam van die seun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Die 17-jarige slagoffer is op die toneel deur mediese personeel dood verklaar,&#8221; s\u00ea Twigg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens hom het die polisie ook \u2019n vroulike persoon aangetref wat beserings opgedoen het en later na \u2019n nabygele\u00eb hospitaal vir mediese behandeling vervoer is. Twigg s\u00ea \u2019n 21-jarige man is in hegtenis geneem op aanklagte van strafbare manslag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1452\" height=\"775\" data-attachment-id=\"267116\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/566215767_706656669129152_7335090989032279761_n-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/566215767_706656669129152_7335090989032279761_n-edited.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1452,775\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"566215767_706656669129152_7335090989032279761_n\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Die toneel in Ravenstraat.
