The biker hit his back<br>\non the pavement,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p>Willem says he saw the bakkie turn into his lane and tried to<br>\naccommodate it somewhat by also turning to his right.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Petrus Daniels, the bakkie driver, told <em>TygerBurger<\/em><br>\nhe was on his way to a meeting at the SAB offices further up in Bloemhof<br>\nRoad.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t jump any red robot.
