PICS: Biker killed in kudu crash DFANEWSPAPER
Kimberley - The Kimberley motorcycling fraternity has been left “devastated” after a well-known city motorcyclist was killed during a freak accident on Sunday evening, when he collided with a kudu. Cedric “Smiley” Johnson, 51, a member of the CC Riders bikers club in Kimberley, died on the N12, about 35 kilometres from Kimberley, on Sunday evening after hitting a kudu at around 6pm.
According to the motorcyclist, who wished to remain anonymous, the weekly ride normally consisted of a larger group of riders, but it was only himself and Johnson who rode on Sunday. Johnson’s body lay covered on the left side of the road, while the wreck of his motorcycle ended up in the veld on the opposite side of the road, about 150 metres away. The kudu lay just off the shoulder of the road, also on the opposite side of the road, about 100 metres from Johnson’s body.
