Police have confirmed that the soccer star who fled the scene of an accident in Tembisa at around 7.30 on Wednesday morning in which a nine-year-old girl died is Shaune Mogaila.
Mogaila, who plays for Sekhukhune United, handed himself over to the Rabie Ridge police hours after being involved in the fatal head-on collision along Andrew Mapheto Drive.
The club manager accompanied the talented winger to the police station.
Scrolla.Africa broke the story this morning.
The mother of the nine-year-old girl and her 13-year-old daughter, who were trapped in their vehicle, were rescued. The 13-year-old sustained serious injuries and was taken to Tembisa Tertiary Hospital.
Scrolla.Africa learnt that Mogaila left the scene to go to a doctor for a check-up before handing himself over to the authorities.
Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department spokesperson Thabiso Makgato said when police arrived at the scene, they found the mother and her 13-year-old still trapped in their car while the driver of the other car was not at the scene.
“We found four bottles of Don Julio alcohol. We also found a powder, which we suspect could be cocaine, and weed edibles in his vehicle,” Makgato said.
She added that a case of culpable homicide, reckless and negligent driving, and leaving the scene of an accident has been opened at the Tembisa South police station.
