WATCH: Street race horror on Steve Biko Road leaves one dead
A young man has died, and another is fighting for his life following a high-speed crash on Steve Biko Road in Pretoria late on Sunday night.
The two men, Willie Momberg and Phillip Bezuidenhout, were travelling in a single vehicle, believed to be a Honda Ballade, when the incident occurred.
It is alleged that the vehicle was travelling at high speed, possibly as part of a street race, when it collided with a car, a Renault Kwid, entering from a side street.
According to a reliable source, Phillip was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment but was declared dead at around 21:00, while Willie sustained critical injuries, including a brain bleed, a hip dislocation, a fractured pelvis and several other life-threatening injuries.
Tributes have been pouring in on social media for 26-year-old Phillip, as friends remember him as a vibrant young man gone too soon.
It is believed the driver of the other vehicle also sustained injuries, but the extent of the injuries could not yet be confirmed.
