AN OFF-DUTY LEAP officer has tragically lost his life after stopping to help at an accident scene, only to be run over himself.
Ward councillor Angus McKenzie said: “It is with an indescribably heavy heart that we mourn the tragic passing of Lyle Thomas, a devoted Bonteheuwel resident, a committed member of the Bonteheuwel Neighbourhood Watch.”
Officer Thomas, 20, was struck by a vehicle on Jakes Gerwel Drive near Samora Machel at about 4.20am on Sunday morning by a motorist who was allegedly under the influence.
