A vehicle ploughed the Lyme South Road verges early this morning, 9 June, taking away two brown wooden fences of two adjacent properties before it crossed to the other side of the road and rammed into a big concrete street light which fell on a white wall, damaging it.
The incident happened at 2.30 am this morning along Lyme Road South in the section between Reservoir Road and the entrance to St Francis Bay. The vehicle overturned and came to a standstill upside down. That is how the occupants of the house found the vehicle when they went to investigate the ‘big bang’ they heard when the concrete pole fell on their garden wall.
The driver and a passenger were dragged from the vehicle by the house occupants. Those in the vehicle were uninjured but were calmed down before being taken to the police station and then home.
Bryane Pretorius who rents one of the houses that had its wooden fencing completely destroyed, said he did not hear anything and was only told by neighbours early this morning that his fence had been damaged. He also only then discovered the there had been an accident at a street pole several yards down the road.

The vehicle was towed away by a tow truck company.
This incident follows soon after other uncanny incidents that happened in St Francis Bay recently which have been dubbed as Murphy’s law. See post: http://stfrancischronicle.com/2013/06/09/murphys-law-takes-its-toll-in-st-francis-bay/
