THE video is shocking: a woman driving hell for leather through a boom at a shopping centre, careening over a centre island and hitting a man running in the street.
Yet in a country like South Africa, many people could understand it. Crime is everywhere and people are sick of it.
The woman, Sandy-Lee Ward, had opened the window of her Toyota Tazz to insert her parking ticket at a mall in the Bluff, Durban, when two men approached.
One ran around to the passenger door, the other was at the driver’s side, trying to get into the car.
“He hit me in my face and it was making my head ring,” Sandy-Lee told News24. “They grabbed the gold chain off my neck and tried to pull me out of the car.”
The men snatched her bag and then tried to release her seatbelt in order, she believes, to throw her from the car and steal the vehicle too.
But when they couldn’t free the buckle and another motorist drove up at the boom, one of the men jumped into a getaway car nearby while the other took off on foot.
And Sandy-Lee (43) floored the accelerator and took off after him and her handbag, which contained her phone, house keys and banking information.
In security footage a police car can be seen pulling into a filling station – and next thing Sandy-Lee’s Tazz comes belting along, running over the alleged robber.
Her handbag was returned to her by a filling station worker who, she says, told her, “Well done, my sister, you got one”.
Sandy-Lee, who recently moved to Durban from Johannesburg to live with her 74-year-old mother, says she was in tears during the robbery.
