Luke in car crash

Stormers loose forward Luke Watson escaped unhurt from a light accident in Bellville on Monday afternoon.

Watson’s black BMW was damaged, however, after another motorist allegedly skipped a red light and hit the front left of the Springbok’s car.

Stormers spokesperson Frikkie Erasmus confirmed the incident.

“Nobody has been hurt. The front of Luke’s car has been damaged. There were some surprised onlookers when they saw Luke and some of his teammates at the scene,” said Erasmus.

Watson was calm afterwards and relieved that his car had not been reduced to a wreck.

“The person drove over a red light. It was at the intersection of Jip de Jager Lane and Voortrekker Street. My teammates teased me as they came past,” said Watson.

“I am 100% fine. My car has been damaged, but it’s not a write-off.”

The Stormers convened again on Monday after their festive break. Watson’s accident happened on his way home in rush-hour traffic.
