South African rapper Blxckie took to social media to lament on what could easily have been a fatal car accident past weekend.
Blxckie survives freak car accident
In a statement, Sihle Sithole revealed the accident occurred on his way to Johannesburg, where he was due to board a flight to Durban. Blxckie was scheduled to appear at a number of gigs in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) but, along the way from Lesotho, he and his team were met by a nightmare.
“So, what happened is, we were driving from Lesotho to Jozi to catch a 6PM flight to DBN so I can get to these gigs and whatever, when we got to [Bloemfontein], which is like a lil bit over halfway to Jozi, one of the back tyres get (sp) a puncture and the car goes out of control and skids onto the side of the road,” he recalled.
Fortunately, no passengers were injured in the accident. Alternative plans were attempted in a bid to make it to the scheduled events on time but “getting that punctured tyre took a big chunk out of our time.”
“Even worse, one of the front tyres popped as soon as we got into Jozi. No other flights available and driving to DBN at this time is not an option,” Blxckie added.
Here is the video footage of the rapper’s van after the freak car accident.
