Motorist fortunate to survive accident
Bakkie a write-off, with smashed crates of liquor across road
❝ The driver sustained a deep laceration
In what looked like a serious car accident which took place on the R67 opposite Langholm Farm on Monday, a 38-year-old man escaped with at least moderate injuries and was taken to Settlers Hospital in Makhanda.
Talk of the Town’s source, who did not want to be named, did not know what direction the bakkie, which had been loaded with crates of liquor, had been travelling from or the cause of the accident.
“The driver sustained a deep laceration on the parietal region.
“It is alleged that the driver was alone at the time of the accident,” our source said.
According to TotT’s source, the bakkie was loaded with crates of liquor, and several photos were provided of bottles smashed on the road and scattered cardboard crates.
“The crates were full of liquor stock.
“By the time we arrived at the scene the entire stock had fallen off so we are not sure if it was full [of liquor],” our source said.
The bakkie appeared to be a write-off. No further details were available.
