Cape Town – A 27-year-old man will appear in court for wrongful death and drunk driving after a baby was killed when pedestrians were hit.
In a video clip, a Toyota Avanza can be seen speeding down Stock Road, between Rochester and Govan Mbeki roads, in Philippi East on Sunday morning before veering off course. The car collides with four people, who were seriously injured, some of whom appeared to have returned from shopping, and a baby on the sidewalk next to a parked car.
The driver of the parked car then jumps out of the car to witness the devastation. The Avanza stops after colliding with three cars and forcing other pedestrians to disperse.
Western Cape Police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk said on Monday: “ A 27-year-old man was arrested for wrongful death and drunk driving after his vehicle collided with other vehicles and a baby was fatally injured while four pedestrians were seriously injured.
” The accident happened on Stock Road, Philippi East. The suspect will appear in court once charges are filed. ”
In Kensington on Saturday night, two people in a Honda Civic were killed and a VW Polo driver was injured on Voortrekker Road. The jaws of life had to be used to remove the bodies.
On Sunday November 22, five pedestrians were run over at Lamont Location, near the Bafanaas store in Margate.
According to police, the driver had lost control of his vehicle and collided with a fence, a store and five pedestrians.
Three people in the vehicle fled on foot towards Sunduza. The vehicle is believed to have been stolen from Ramsgate the night before.
In another incident the same weekend, a police officer found the body of an unidentified pedestrian lying on the R61 motorway, Margate. He was reportedly hit by a minibus taxi and a light vehicle.
