Johannesburg – A motorcyclist was killed on the R512 near Lanseria airport north of Johannesburg when he collided with a kudu on Sunday morning, paramedics said.

At 7.30am, paramedics from ER24 were dispatched to the scene where they found the rider, his bike, and the kudu lying several metres apart from each other, ER24 spokesman Werner Vermaak said.

"Upon assessment, they found that the rider sustained multiple fatal injuries. Sadly, there was nothing that they could do for him and he was declared dead. The kudu was also found dead.

"A witness explained that he saw the rider and his bike flung into the air, but did not know the man collided with the animal. It was only when he pulled over to assist when he noticed the animal lying on the side of the road," Vermaak said.
