But did the criminals get a helicopter airlift? Shoulda waited for government ambulance.

Interesting.. I wonder if the motorists they smashed into thought much more than them being yet another idiot driving on wrong side of road.. (it's that common)

Hope they caught all of them and that only the innocent recover quickly.
Good job SAP's and Metro.

Wonder why they choose rush hour to hijack cars.

Wonder why they choose rush hour to hijack cars.

Because there is so many cars parked in the middle of the road with the keys still in the ignition and the engine running half of the work is already done for them

Wonder why they choose rush hour to hijack cars.

And response times of SAPS is slowed down.

I believe that this lot actually came from Fourways, and were being chased by the coppers.
Tried to dive into the pack.

Glad I was in the Gautrain bus at the time. Man, those drivers will just ride over anything in their big, shiny gold behemoths.
