Serious injuries in bike accident

A motorcyclist was seriously injured this morning in a collision with a bakkie.

The incident occurred at the junction of CR Swart Road and Foxglove Avenue. The clutch of the motorcycle, which was being driven by a woman, slipped, causing her to hit the bakkie ahead of her. She then fell off the motorcycle and rolled underneath a second bakkie which was driving past. She sustained a variety of injuries, some serious.
