    A Grahamstown schoolboy died after being hit by a vehicle on Tuesday 7 April.

    According to police, the 17-year-old pupil was hit by a vehicle belonging to the Department of Correctional Services while cycling with a friend. The friend was unharmed.

    The Makana Fire Department's William Welkom, whose team was among the first to respond, said the incident occurred around 1pm, approximately 12km from Grahamstown on the N2 to Peddie.

    According to Welkom, the vehicle was travelling in the direction of Peddie when the cyclist attempted to cross the road.

    "It appeared that he didn't observe properly before he crossed," Welkom said. "The driver tried to clamp on the brakes, but it was too late."

    Welkom said the friend was unharmed and the vehicle was slightly damaged.

    According to police spokesperson Mali Govender, the teenager was a pupil at a Grahamstown high school.
