Stellenbosch municipality spokesperson Stuart Grobbelaar confirmed to Netwerk24 that he had actually driven past the accident scene and no other vehicles were involved.
’’The driver of the truck and the vehicle both sustained light injuries. No one died in the incident,’’ he said. In November 2019, Rochele Velkers was lucky to have survived with ’’fairly minor injuries’’ when a truck parked outside a Port Elizabeth school rolled down the hill, across a road and down a one-way embankment — landing on her Opel as she drove past.
Charlie Gillett, 71, risked his life to stay with Rochelle Velkers, 26, while she was trapped in her car under the truck, Herald Live reported. He held her hand for 45 minutes, keeping her conscious and reassuring her. ’’All that was going through my mind was that I must help this woman. I did not think about the truck landing on me or anything. The car was badly crushed. I could not see her face or anything,’’ he said.
