The woman was struck so violently that one of her legs were partially amputated.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred around 09:45 on the busy corner of Cowen Ntuli- and Lilian Ngoyi Drive.<\/p>\n

Details remain sketchy but it is understood that the BMW responsible for the crash was earlier involved in a crime incident preceding the collision.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to eye-witnesses at the scene, the fleeing BMW with two occupants struck a BMW SUV in the crossing at the busy McDonald’s intersection.<\/p>\n

Both cars lost control, spun and both then struck the unknown woman crossing the street. The fleeing BMW then crashed into Romans Pizza’s perimeter wall and came to a halt in Romans Pizzas parking area.<\/p>\n

One of the two suspects succeeded in fleeing the horrible scene, while the other was arrested. The woman was immediately taken to hospital with life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
