Suspect nabbed Tammy’s death
Courtney Moore (18) van Strand het op Jeugdag in ’n ongeluk op die N2 gesterf.
A STRAND man has been arrested in connection with the injury of a pensioner in a hitand-run accident last week Wednesday. The woman (72) was hit in Main Road, Strand, and sustained head injuries. Officers viewed CCTV footage of the accident and found a mirror on the accident scene. The mirror was identified as one from an Opel Corsa bakkie, and CCTV footage showed a vehicle matching its description had been at the intersection shortly before the accident. The registration number was traced using the E-Natis system and led officers to an address in Strand. A case of reckless and negligent driving and leaving the scene of an accident is being investigated.

ROSS Sergeant (33), die bestuurder van die Mercedes Benz wat betrokke was in die ongeluk wat die lewe van die jong Strand-danser Courtney Moore (18) en Somerset-Wes-inwoner Estelle Brigando (50), geëis het, het op Vrydag 28 Oktober in die Phillipi-landdroshof verskyn. Die saak is tot 16 Januarie uitgestel vir verdere ondersoek. Ross staan tereg op aanklagte van onder meer strafbare manslag, roekelose en nalatige bestuur, die versuim om op ’n ongelukstoneel te stop en die skade en aard van beserings vas te stel; asook die versuim om ’n ongeluk aan te meld, nadat hy in die vroeë oggendure van Jeugdag agter in Brigando se Toyota Yaris op die N2 vasgery het. Die geweldige slag het die motor laat rol en Brigando en Moore is albei noodlottig beseer. Brigando se twee dogters, Gabriela (21) en Carla (18), wat ook in die motor was, is in die Vergelegen Mediclinic vir geringe beserings behandel. Sergeant het na bewering van die ongelukstoneel gevlug. Daar is kritiek in die media uitgespreek omdat sy motor, wat as ’n bewysstuk in die ondersoek moes dien, aan sy pa, ook ’n Somerset-Wes-inwoner, oorhandig is. Sy prokureur, William Booth, het die dag ná die ongeluk die Nyanga-polisie wat die saak ondersoek het, gebel. Geen bloedalkoholtoetse kon gedoen word nie, omdat die wetlike twee-uur periode waarin dit gedoen moes word, toe reeds verstryk het.
