A motorbike collided with a BMW 318I at Buitekant road in Soshanguve Block F opposite Giant stadium on Monday afternoon.

The motorbike seemed to be travelling south to north, whilst the BMW was making its turn into the NAFCOC shopping centre.

The paramedics arrived on the scene a few minutes after the collision. The motorbike rider who was seriously injured, but still conscious was taken away by an ambulance.

The BMW driver sustained minor injuries from the broken parts of the bike.

Eyewitness, Tebogo Sethole, who was going in the same direction as the bike, told Record that the collision came as a surprise to him and did not understand why, both drivers, could cause such an accident on a freeway?

 "The BMW tried to overtake the bike, but the speed of the bike was too fast to be passed. There was no convoy. Even now I am still surprised on how the accident happened on a freeway,” said Sethole.

Another eyewitness from Block FF, Alfred Moloto, said "the bike rider came from the south at a high speed and I am sure that the old man was expecting something big, such as a car. That might be his reason why he crossed without double checking if there was another car coming.”

Moloto further said that a minute later, he heard a terrifying sound and the boy was lying helplessly in the road.

The BMW driver did not want to comment on the scene as he was still shocked by the collision and believed that everything was under the police's hands.

The Soshanguve Block L Police station said that a case has been opened and an investigation will soon commence
