Pedestrian in deadly road mishap

Broadhurst Police Station commander, superintendent Obusitswe Lokae said the accident occurred at around 8.40am. “The woman likely to be in her 30s was trying to cross the road when she met her fate. We are pleading with members of the public to come and identify the deceased at the Kashoti Mortuary in Gaborone West. The deceased didn’t have any form of identification in her possession,” Lokae said. Lokae said in the process of the unfortunate incident, three cars bumped into each other after the one in the front hit the brakes to allow the pedestrian to cross the road. He further said a speeding Honda Fit car fast approached the scene, but ended up hitting the woman. “While fast approaching, the Honda Fit driver tried to avoid a further collision, lost control of the car and ended up hitting the car that was on the lane for oncoming traffic before hitting the deceased,” he said.
