No.13 District Officer Commanding, Senior Superintendent Obusitswe Lokae, said the fatal accident occurred around 10:10pm.

The deceased was reportedly walking with a group of about five young men when the tragedy happened.

The driver of the vehicle, a 38-year-old man who was behind the wheel of a Mercedes Benz, is said to have immediately reported the matter to the police.

The police swiftly attended the accident, and rushed the victim to Princess Marina Hospital, where doctors confirmed the young man's death upon arrival.
