Read the story below:
What is going on in Alberton?
Recently one of our cars were involved in a freak accident 400m from the end of the Voortrekker off-ramp on the N12 highway.
A trailer lost a wheel which crashed into us and in the process, it smashed under our car and damaged the gearbox.
A young woman managed to pull over onto the hard shoulder and called Outsurance, who was brilliant.
While she was waiting for assistance she was robbed at gunpoint.
We went to Alberton SAPS to report the crime and the gentleman in front of us in the queue was reporting the same problem as he was also a victim of crime in the same place.
He gave the same description of the suspect as well.
While I assisted her, the guy was still loitering in the trees.
Alberton SAPS say they will get community watch to look out for the perpetrators, but what are the odds of two people in Alberton Police Station reporting the same crime?
How many other innocent drivers have pulled over on the same off-ramp to be met by a gun?
