Gauteng: At 07H01 Sunday morning, Netcare 911 responded to a collision on Bowling Avenue near Kelvin Drive in Gallo Manor, Johannesburg.
Reports indicate that two cyclists were struck down by a speeding mini-bus taxi.
One of the cyclists, an adult male approximately 50-years-old, was crushed by the taxi then dragged for over half a kilometre before the taxi was stopped by members of the public.
Medics assessed the scene and found that the cyclist was still trapped underneath the taxi and required the Fire and Rescue services to use hydraulic tools to free the severely disfigured man.
The man sadly showed no signs of life and was declared deceased on the scene.
The second cyclist, also an adult male, was treated on scene and once stabilised was rushed to hospital by ambulance for further care.
The scene was of such a horrific nature that even emergency workers were shocked by the incident.
The driver of the taxi was not injured.
