|||Cape Town - A young Cape Town woman has died on the eve of her 21st birthday on the N2 highway.
Just two hours after a metro policeman was murdered on the N2 near Khayelitsha, Siobhan Natasha Smit died barely 10km away.
Smit had been travelling near Somerset West with fellow passengers at around 8.30pm on Wednesday night.
Police spokesman FC van Wyk said their car had broken down and Smit and another person had stepped out of their car to try to find the problem.
But as they did so, a white bakkie had ploughed into them.
Smit died on the scene and her fellow passenger was taken to hospital.
Smit, from Gordon’s Bay, had been due to celebrate her 21st birthday on Friday and died on the scene.
“Police are investigating a culpable homicide case. No arrest has been made as yet,” Van Wyk reported.
