Laaiplek-polisie se hoof van sigbare polisi\u00ebring, AO Elroy Fischer (43), het Sondagoggend tragies in \u2019n motorongeluk op die Velddrif-Vredenburgpad gesterf. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Volgens kapt. Tania Helfrich, plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder, is die inligting oor die ongeluk in hierdie stadium baie skraps, maar sy s\u00ea dit het om 00:05 Sondag naby die plaas Heuningklip, rigting Velddrif gebeur. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit blyk daar was net een voertuig in die ongeluk betrokke en daar is nie remmerke op die pad nie. Fischer was aan diens en alleen in die polisievoertuig toe die ongeluk gebeur het. <\/span>Die wrak is n\u00e1 sonsopkoms in die veld gesien en gerapporteer. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>\u201cDie presiese oorsaak van die ongeluk kan nog nie bepaal word nie,\u201d aldus Helfrich. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fischer het op 12 November 1997 by die Laaiplek-polisie as \u2019n reservis aangesluit. Op 1 Februarie 2000 het hy as \u2019n permanente lid by die polisie aangesluit en op 1 Maart 2019 is hy tot die rang van adjudant-offisier bevorder in die pos as sigbare polisi\u00ebringshoof. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/span>Fischer sal onthou word as \u2019n perfeksionis in sy loopbaan. Hy was hardwerkend en het sy pligte met trots en ywer verrig, met o\u00eb wat blink en lag as hy praat,\u201d het Helfrich ges\u00ea. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Daar sal Donderdag 29 Oktober om 10:00 \u2019n gedenkdiens vir Fischer by NG kerk Laaiplek gehou word. \u2018n Amptelike begrafnis sal Saterdag 31 Oktober om 10:00 by die Velddrif-rugbyveld gehou word. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Enigiemand wat die ongeluk gesien gebeur het, word vriendelik versoek om vir sers. Mzamo Mbovane by 022\u2009703\u20096464 te bel.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
