A man was run over and killed in peak hour traffic in Jan van Riebeeck Drive, near Mbekweni, on Tuesday afternoon. According to a witness at the scene, it appeared the victim was aiming to cross the road while the truck was approaching from a distance. “But when the truck was at a close distance it seemed the man just jumped into the road,” the witness recalled. The scene suggests that a culpable homicide had happened in this incident, but could not be confirmed by Mbekweni police in time for print. The identity of the man who died has not been confirmed.Photo: Heleen Rossouw
