\u2019n Bekende inwoner van Kleinmond vertel hy het \u2019n naelskraapse ontkoming gehad toe hy Saterdagaand stilgehou het by wat vir hom soos \u2019n padblokkade gelyk het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cobus van den Berg, die bekende en bekroonde vervaardiger van televisiereekse soos Trackers <\/i>en die fliek Griekwastad<\/i>, vertel hy was op pad huis toe van \u2019n troue in Grabouw toe hy van ver af reeds helder blou, wit en rooi ligte gewaar het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToe ek stop, het ek besef dis nie \u2019n roetine-padblokkade nie, want niemand het my rybewys gevra nie,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het toe gesien hoe \u2019n polisievoertuig wat in die pad gestaan het, wegtrek sodat hy vermoedelik kon deur ry. Hy het gehoor iemand skree hy moet ry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was asof \u2019n stemmetjie vir my ges\u00ea het \u2018moenie\u2019, want die volgende oomblik het \u2019n motor wat in die teenoorgestelde rigting gery het, deur die gaping gebars en my voertuig getref,\u201d vertel Van den Berg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs ek moes gery het, was dit beslis \u2019n botsing reg van voor en ek en my vrou kon dood gewees het. Ek neem aan die ander motor kon nie betyds stop nie en het net deur die gaping gery. Dit was \u2019n baie traumatiese ervaring en ek was rattled<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gelukkig was die skade aan sy veteraanmotor nie ernstig nie en hy kon sonder verdere voorval huis toe ry. Die ander voertuig, s\u00ea Van der Berg, het ook net verder gery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Van den Berg het hy die volgende dag Kleinmond-polisie se stasiebevelvoerder, kol. Anna May, gekontak. Di\u00e9 gesprek, s\u00ea hy, het \u2019n effens wrang smaak in sy mond gelos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy het ges\u00ea dit was \u2019n noodsituasie en verkeerslui was nie aan diens nie. Sy was meer bekommerd oor die polisie se beeld,\u201d s\u00ea Cobus, \u201cen het ges\u00ea ek moes haar liewer kom spreek het as om dit op sosiale media te sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy doel is nie om die polisie sleg te maak nie. Die punt is dit kon erger gewees het. Ek wou net h\u00ea sy moet bedag wees. Die polisie kon motoriste ver van die toneel af gestop het sonder om paniek te saai met die klomp ligte.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May het bevestig dat daar geen padblokkade was nie, maar dat beamptes op die toneel was om reddingswerkers by te staan wat besig was om \u2019n boom wat in die pad geval het, te verwyder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie beamptes het opgetree om ongelukke te voorkom as gevolg van die boom wat oor die pad geval het,\u201d het May ges\u00ea. Sy het ook bevestig dat Van den Berg se voertuig nie deur \u2019n polisievoertuig getref is nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op \u2019n versoek om kommentaar oor Van den Berg se stelling op Facebook dat die polisie \u201converantwoordelik teenoor padgebruikers\u201d was, was May se antwoord: \u201cEk kan nie daarop antwoord nie omdat dit nie slegs die polisie op die toneel was nie, maar ook wetstoepassers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens May is niks n\u00e1 die voorval aangemeld nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van den Berg s\u00ea hy oorweeg dit nie om enige stappe teen die polisie te neem nie, \u201cwant dit sal \u2019n mors van tyd wees\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het 20 vintage <\/i>motors en het versekering. Die kolonel het ges\u00ea sy sal dit verder vat, maar ek verwag nie veel nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
