TWO mense living in the Gushindoda informal settlement in Delft nearly lost their lives when a police van crashed into their shack.

At the time of Sunday night's incident, the two victims were asleep when the police officer rammed a SAPS vehicle into their shack, leaving them with multiple injuries.

The officer left the police van at the scene and fled the scene.

Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi confirmed that the couple was taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment and that a case of reckless and negligent driving is under investigation.
