Henry Grimes’ lawyer, Corlia Bester from C Bester Inc Attorneys in Pretoria, told TimesLIVE that Heriot Drive in George, which her client was driving on, was not cordoned off by the municipality after a burst water pipe caused havoc in the suburb of Genevafontein.
“Our client and his son, nine years of age, were in the vehicle when the horrific incident occurred. Both were able to escape the sinking vehicle and swim to safety. Our client saved his son, whereafter he escaped the vehicle.”The pipe supplies the town’s main water treatment works and, because of the burst, the municipality was at the time unable to pump water to the facility’s holding dams.
