Reality TV star, Tebogo Ramokgadi, and a friend were driving back from Johannesburg when they were involved in an accident.
Tebogo was having a ball at the Metro FM Awards, held on 6 May 2023 in Mbombela. He attended the main ceremony and was later spotted at the dazzling after-party. The reality star, along with his friend, Michelle Modika, went on a road trip, excited for the big event. Yet, tragedy struck on their way back, when they ended up getting caught in a terrifying accident.
According to Zimojo, the horror scene left Tebogo traumatised. Tebogo and Michelle were driving back and were on the N12 highway when the car hit him. He says that it was a French couple that hit them from behind.
The accident took place sometime in the afternoon after Tebogo and Michelle left Mbombela on Sunday morning. “We were driving on the highway when a car hit us and the car rolled a few times. They are from France and were here on holiday. I think they were not used to driving on the left,” he says, adding, “Everything happened so quickly. There was a moment when I blacked out and gained consciousness again. I really don’t know how we made it out alive.”
Tebogo claims to only have minor scratches due to the accident, however, Michelle had injured both her head and buttocks. She quickly received medical support and should be well soon.
Although both of them are traumatised by the event, they are both grateful to have made it out alive.
