Polokwane City in tragic car accident

Posted: 11 November 2012 Time: 07:50 pm

A tragic car accident has taken place in Polokwane, in which a number of Polokwane City players have passed away.

According to information gathered by KickOff.com, the accident occurred after the team played their First Division match against FC AK at Turflop Stadium in Limpopo today. Details are sketchy, but reports are that four players have lost their lives.

"There could be more casulaties, as some players have been transfered to hospital in a critical condition," a source close to the club says.

PSL general manager of football Derek Blanckensee confirms the accident but said he did not like to commit himself on the number of players that have passed away.

Polokwane City was previously known as Bay United.

South Africa suffered a similar loss recently when Bafana Bafana assistant coach Thomas Madigage passed away in a car accident in Limpopo.

KickOff.com sends its sincere condolonces to the club and the players' families.
