Former Springbok captain Corne Krige’s brother-in-law drove over and killed both his children in a freak accident, Beeld reported on Tuesday.
The children, Phillip (1) and Kirsten (4), were driving with their father, Jan-Hendrik, on their farm, Elandsfontein, in Victoria West in the Western Cape, when the accident happened on Monday afternoon.
”They were driving on a gravel road on the farm and there was a turn to the left. It seems that one of the children opened a car door,” said police spokesperson Captain Malcolm Plaatjie.
Both children fell out of the four-wheel drive vehicle and landed underneath the car.
They were the children of Krige’s wife’s sister. — Sapa
