FEMALE TEACHER RUN OVER BY OWN CAR, DIES

MPAKENI – A female teacher tragically met her death after she threw herself in the way of her runaway car, in a bid to stop it physically on Sunday morning.

The shocking incident occurred at the 59-year-old woman’s parental homestead, which is situated at Mpakeni, outside Hluti, where she had paid a visit over the weekend.

Information gathered was that the teacher had already bid her brothers farewell, in preparation for her journey back to her marital homestead at Ntshanini when the incident happened, shortly after 9 am.
Reports are that the victim put the car, an Isuzu LDV, on idling mode, but quickly realised that she had forgotten something inside the house while preparing to drive away.

Witnesses said she then left the vehicle with its engine running and went back inside the house to collect whatever she had left behind.
However, while she was still inside the house, she overhead screams of children, who were busy with other errands in the family yard when she left the vehicle, shouting that the car was moving.

Apparently, the children were notifying her that her vehicle was moving, albeit without a driver to control it.
The woman immediately left the house in haste to get control of her car.

Indeed, she discovered that the car was moving and in a bid to stop the vehicle or prevent it from crashing on anything, she was prompted to make the decision to throw herself in the way of the moving automobile, trying to stop it physically with her own hands.
