A 40-year-old single mother in KwaZulu-Natal was killed in a freak accident at her house on Thursday.
The mother’s own car hit her
Prem Balram, spokesperson for Reaction Unit SA (RUSA), stated that the mother of two met her demise with her own vehicle while seated on a paint bucket in her neighbor’s yard in Waterloo.
“Reaction Officers arrived on the scene in the vicinity of Soul Liberation Church at 11:49 on Thursday and found the woman lying in a yard.”
PARAMEDICS FOUND THE WOMAN LYING IN THE YARD
A silver Toyota Azanza was stationary next to her body.
On the scene, Balram interviewed the two brothers who occupied the silver Toyota Avanza.
“They informed Officers that they were travelling in the residential area with their vehicle loaded with tables and chairs.
“As they were driving near the flats, a money pouch and a speaker began to slide off the dashboard. The 26-year-old driver reached for the bag of money that was sliding towards the left door.”
Prem Balram says.
Emergency responders found her unresponsive and declared her dead on the scene
He said the driver lost control of the vehicle and ran over the female sitting on a paint bucket in the yard, killing her instantly.
“Paramedics from Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) and KZN VIP found the female unresponsive. Medical personnel declared her deceased.”
Authorities identified the deceased as a single mother of two minor children.
