Louw het blykbaar buite hul voertuig gestaan toe hy getref is, met sy broer, Calvin (21), wat nog in die voertuig gesit het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018n Soektog is onmiddellik vanstapel gestuur en die polisie het die voertuig wat vermoedelik in die voorval betrokke was, by \u2018n nabygele\u00eb venue gekry. Hulle het \u2018n 40-jarige man aangekeer wat vandag (Maandag 12 Mei) in die Roberston-landdroshof op klagtes van dronkbestuur en strafbare manslag sal verskyn, het AO. Joseph Swartbooi, polisie woordvoerder bevestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leighton se ma, Lizelle Regue, het vanoggend met die <em>Standard &amp; Breederivier Gazette<\/em> gesels ten spyte hul groot hartseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLeighton was \u2018n baie spontane mens, \u2018n jong man met baie drome. Hy wou graag by <a href=\"https:\/\/worcesterstandard.co.za\/vallei-en-langeberg-se-matrieks-vaar-goed-20240124-2\/\">Langeberg Sekond\u00eare Skool<\/a> in Robertson werk n\u00e1 hy sy graad voltooi het. Sy passie vir onderwys het juis hi\u00e9r, waar ek werk en hy gematrikuleer het, begin. Hy het ges\u00ea as hy nie dadelik werk kry n\u00e1 sy studies nie, sal hy graag IT wil studeer en \u2018games\u2019 ontwerp. Dis hoe hy was &#8211; vol drome,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOns is trotse ouers vir die lieflike seuns wat ons het. Ek het altyd vir hulle ges\u00ea ons as ouers lewe nie vir altyd nie. Van Vrydagaand af kan ek sien aan die klomp mense wat op die toneel was en hoeveel mense al by ons was wat ek nie eers ken nie, watter groot vriendekring hy gehad het. Dis hartverskeurend. Maar ek s\u00ea vir die Here dankie dat ons ons kinders goed kon groot maak en dat hulle iets vir die w\u00eareld daarbuite daar kon beteken. Hulle was altyd bereid om mense se te help. Dis hoe ons Leighton sal onthou. Die persoon wie hy was,\u201d s\u00ea sy ma hartseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Langeberg Sekond\u00eare Skool het hul meegevoel met die gesin op hul Facebook-blad betuig. &#8220;Ons betreur die skielike heengaan van Leighton Louw, &#8216;n oudleerder wat sy Hemelse huis betree het. Ons onthou hom as &#8216;n baie respekvolle jong man met die mooiste maniere. Ons harte is baie seer.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die begrafnisre\u00eblings is nog nie gefinaliseer nie, omdat sy ouers sy liggaam eers Dinsdag (13 Mei), in Worcester kan gaan uitken. Hulle hoop dat die begrafnis komende Saterdag kan plaasvind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louw laat sy ouers Lizelle en Johan Regue, sy oudste broer Calvin Louw sowel as sy ander sibbe Jaydrean, Angelo, Atwill, John, Michaela en Felicity Regue agter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die gemeenskap van Robertson rou vandeesweek n\u00e1 \u2018n jong man dood is in \u2018n tref-en-trap ongeluk net buite die dorp.
