[MOWBRAY] Pedestrian on the N2 killed

A man in his late 20s/early 30s has been killed trying to cross the N2 under the M5 flyover near the Cape Town southern suburb of Mowbray this afternoon. He’d been knocked down by a Mercedes Vito van transporting a bunch of kids.

ER24 paramedics were on the scene at 16:14 along with the Traffic Department and another private medical service. The man was found lying face down in the emergency lane and upon assessment, unfortunately, showed no signs of life. He was declared dead on arrival. The driver and passengers in the Vito were shaken by the incident but fortunately uninjured.

The man was carrying no form of identity but the South African Police Services, as well as the Metro Police, were on the scene for further investigations.
