Tracy Randall has appealed to the driver of a white Toyota Tazz that ploughed into her husband and other cyclists on Good Friday to hand himself over to police.

Pretoria - The widow of seasoned Centurion cyclist and father-of-two Andrew Randall could hardly string a sentence together when she spoke of her husband’s tragic death. In an interview with SABC News, Tracy Randall said: “I got a couple of missed calls on my phone, and as soon as I got those missed calls I knew something was wrong.

“It’s just devastating and if I could just find closure as soon as possible so that we can continue with our lives, because we won’t be able to put anything behind us. We won’t be able to forget Andrew.”“We were married on April 27, and that’s a week from today, and I can’t say happy anniversary to my husband.

At the weekend, Tshwane Metro Police Department spokesperson Senior Superintendent Isaac Mahamba had urged the driver to come forward.Tshwane Diamond Classic route designer David Labuschagne, who was part of the group, meanwhile told the Rekord Pretoria East website: “It all happened so fast. It was almost surreal.“He drove right through the middle of the bunch and struck almost everybody. It was like he didn’t realise for a while what was going on and just kept going.

“Eight cyclists were taken to hospital but thankfully everyone is in a stable condition. We don’t know whether the driver fell asleep or whether he was drunk,” commented Labuschagne, also chairman of the Bestmed TBC Cycling Club, Pretoria’s largest cycling club. Six other patients were assessed on the scene. Three were found to have sustained moderate injuries while three others had sustained minor injuries.
