Die motorfietsgemeenskap van die Weskus is in rou gedompel nadat \u2019n gru-ongeluk Sondagmiddag die lewe van vyf plaaslike motorfietsryers ge\u00ebis het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens AO Yolanda Kotze, woordvoerder van Saldanha-polisie, het di\u00e9 ongeluk omstreeks 14:45 op die MR 559-pad (tussen Saldanha en Langebaan) naby Sunrise Energy gebeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kotze s\u00ea \u2019n bakkie wat vanuit Saldanha se rigting onderweg na Langebaan was, het met \u2019n groep motorfietsryers, wat in die teenoorgestelde rigting gery het, gebots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vier mense is op die toneel dood. Nog een is gehospitaliseer en het later dieselfde dag aan sy beserings beswyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twee van die oorledenes was in die bakkie vasgekeer wat weens die botsing in vlamme opgegaan en heeltemal uitgebrand het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWat presies gebeur het, is tans net bespiegelinge. Die polisie sal die saak verder ondersoek,\u201d het Kotze verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gert Venter van die plaaslike Road Thunders-motorfietsklub s\u00ea daar was Sondagoggend \u2019n groot motorfietssaamtrek by die Plaas M\u00f4l-padstal naby Hopefield om geld vir \u2019n plaaslike diereliefdadigheidsorganisasie in te samel. Di\u00e9 saamtrek is deur die Road Thunders-klub gere\u00ebl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie saamtrek was baie suksesvol en lekker en daar het selfs ryers vanuit die Kaap by ons aangesluit,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het saam ontbyt ge\u00ebet en toe die ryers begin verdaag, het ek afgekondig dat almal asseblief veilig moet huis toe ry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Venter s\u00ea hy en sy vrou het later Langebaan toe gery en vinnig by Laguna Mall stilgehou om \u2019n paar artikels te koop. Vandaar kon Venter \u2019n gewoel en rook in die verte op die pad sien en het hulle die sirenes gehoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het vir my vrou ges\u00ea as ons nie vinnig by die sentrum gestop het nie, kon dit net sowel ons in die botsing gewees het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie motorfietsgemeenskap is geruk deur hierdie tragedie,\u201d het \u2019n hartseer Venter bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea sommige van die ryers wat in die botsing betrokke was, was deel van die oggend se saamtrek, maar nie almal nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was \u2019n heerlike sonskyndag en ons vermoed die ryers het iewers anders gaan kuier n\u00e1 hulle by die Plaas M\u00f4l weg is. Die ongeluk het seker gebeur toe hulle op pad huis toe was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die paartjie in die bakkie is ook bekende motorfietsryers van die Weskus. Hulle het egter nie die oggend aan die saamtrek deelgeneem nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is Maandagoggend nog een motorfietsryer uit die hospitaal ontslaan en nog twee word met ernstige beserings versorg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
