One person was killed and several others injured in an illegal street race in Gezina, Pretoria, on Sunday night.
Video footage shared on social media shows one of the cars involved in the drag race colliding with a vehicle attempting to cross Steve Biko Road, one of the area’s main arterial routes. Unable to slow down in time, the speeding sedan sideswipes a Renault Kwid before crashing into a street pole outside a drywall supplier on the corner of Booysen Street.
