South Africa: Freak Flying Wheel Kills Boy

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

A seven-year-old boy was killed in a freak accident on Delft Main Road when the wheel of a BMW flew off the car and struck him.

Delft police said Ethan Mathews of Bonteheuwel was critically injured and received emergency treatment at the scene but subsequently died of his wounds.

Captain Joe Wilson said a case of culpable homicide has been opened against the 19-year-old driver of the BMW.

Ethan’s death is among eight recorded on the province’s roads on Friday.

Provincial traffic spokesperson, Xenophone Wentzel said three people were killed in an accident in Parow when their Citi Golf collided with a bus on the corner of Francie Van Zyl Drive and 35th Avenue. The three male occupants are believed to have been 13, 20 and 40 years old.

Two people died in a head-on collision on the N1 between Matjiesfontein and Touws River and a passenger died when the car he was travelling in on the N2 between Swellendam and Heidelberg burst a tyre. A pedestrian was knocked down and killed on a rural road close to De Doorns.

Cape Town Metro police set up several roadblocks in the city over the Easter weekend.

Metro police chief Rob Young said they had increased the number of roadblocks in response to the increase in traffic in the city.

He said he was concerned that motorists were continuing to drive under the influence of alcohol.

Young said the metro police’s anti-crime “Operation Choke” had resulted in 110 arrests in Athlone alone between March 9 and 31.

A total of 45 of the arrests had been for driving under the influence of alcohol, while 65 had been for drug-related crimes.

Police who were manning a roadblock in NY1, Gugulethu on Friday night arrested seven drivers for being over the limit in less than an hour.

Officials said one of the seven drivers had an alcohol reading of 0.272, almost five times over the legal limit of 0.05.

“This is a clear indication of the major problem we have with people who are not obeying the law,” the metro police’s Rob Young said.

He urged motorists to make arrangements for alternative transport when they were planning their evenings out and said they should at all times refrain from drinking and driving.

“We will have no sympathy for anyone caught driving under the influence,” he said.
