A skateboarder from Johannesburg died yesterday after colliding with a truck on the Franschhoek pass. The 28-year-old sustained fatal injuries to his abdomen, chest and head and was declared dead at the scene.
According to ER24 spokesperson Andre Visser, the skater had apparently gone to Franschhoek specifically for the ride.
He was being followed by a friend in a car during his descent. Upon entering a sharp bend, the skateboarder ran into a truck coming up the hill.
Visser also added that the driver of the truck “was not injured.”
