A woman has succumbed to her injuries in hospital in the early hours of Monday morning, after being knocked over by a man, allegedly unlicensed.
Tatum Hendricks was knocked with such impact that her body
was flung on top of a roof in Bluegum Avenue.
It’s alleged had the man had stolen his father's car and
recklessly drove the vehicle under the influence of alcohol. In Soetdoring
Street it is alleged he drove into a gate thereafter the vehicle was heard
revving and speeding down Bonteheuwel Avenue where it is believed he lost
control of the vehicle knocked a male individual and then Tatum and thereafter
into two properties in Bluegum Avenue.
An unknown off duty paramedic worked to keep Tatum alive
until emergency services arrived on scene. She was transported to hospital along
with the other pedestrian as well as the driver who needed to be cut out of the
vehicle.
Ward Councillor, Angus Mckenzie, wants the drunk driver to
face the full might of the law
‘’Our deepest sympathy goes
out to the family and close friends after she was declared dead before 2am this
[Monday] morning. The actions of the driver cannot go unpunished. This behavior
has caused great pain for the family, friends and greater community.’’
