BICYCLE RIDERS CRASH THEIR BICYCLES AND EGOS

Three years ago ambulance services rushed to the scene of an accident only to be met with two individuals who had fallen off their bicycles.

NARROW PAVING AND SELFISHNESS THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT

According to the Eastern Cape Department of Transport, in a rare bicycle-to-bicycle head-on collision, the two men sustained injuries when they somehow failed to give each other way in a narrow paving, which they ended up colliding head-on.

The accident occurred on the N2 near East London.

“Both men escaped with minor injuries, sore bodies and bruised egos.”
