The accident which claimed the life of the 33-year-old labourer of Mon Repos occurred around 04:00hrs, and involved motor car PZZ 8045 which was driven by a 27-year-old Legal Clerk from Buxton, ECD.

According to the police, the car was heading east along the Mon Repos road when the driver reported to them that he saw a man run from north to south across the road with a cup in his hand and into the path of his vehicle.
