Bok pivot booked on drunken driving rap

Golden Lions and Springbok rugby player Andre Pretorious was arrested and charged with drunken driving after an accident early on Saturday.

Pretorious (27) was in Main Road, Bryanston, in Johannesburg, when his vehicle collided with another vehicle just after 1am. He was arrested and charged, as was the other driver.

Police spokesperson Captain Schalk Bornman said two men were taken to the Randburg police station and later released on R500 bail each.

”Both were booked for drunken driving and will appear in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday,” he said.

Bornman said it was likely their cases would be postponed pending the finalisation and receipt of blood tests taken after the accident.
