\u201cNo injuries were sustained in the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not clear at this stage what actually occurred before the crash, but preliminary investigation reveals that the motorcyclist was stationary at the stop sign, ready to join Pretoria Road, when the approaching patrolling EMPD vehicle bumper-bashed the bike from the rear.<\/p>\n
