Early this morning a pedestrian was knocked over in Voortrekker main road, in Goodwood.
The woman was standing in the middle of the road waiting to cross. The vehicle that knocked over the pedestrian was traveling at high speed. It all happened in a split second.
As the pedestrian was crossing the road, the vehicle hit the woman. She flew back on impact, to the left side of the road.
The injured woman was lying in the road during morning rush-hour traffic, with her clothes torn. The woman wasn’t moving. The truck drove off and could not stop, as it was traveling at such high speed.
The ambulance and police were contacted to assist the woman. She started moving a bit.
When the taxi and passengers began to drive off, facing Cape Town, the truck that knocked over the pedestrian returned to the scene.
