In a heart-stopping saga along the N3 Highway, Penny Ntuli, the dynamic radio personality originally hailing from KwaZulu-Natal but now firmly rooted in Johannesburg, emerged victorious from a terrifying collision that left her luxurious BMW battered and bruised.
Taking to social media on Tuesday evening, Ntuli recounted the hair-raising events that unfolded during her journey from Durban to Joburg. Opting to familiarise herself with the bustling city by driving her own car, fate dealt her a cruel blow as a hefty wood log cascaded from a truck onto the freeway, shattering the tranquility of her commute.
Sharing a snapshot of the wreckage, Ntuli detailed the extent of the damage inflicted upon her beloved vehicle: the right-hand side mangled, the bonnet crumpled, and the front lights obliterated by the force of the impact. However, amidst the chaos, a silver lining emerged – no injuries were reported, thanks to Ntuli’s quick reflexes and adept manoeuvring to avoid further calamity.
Reflecting on the ordeal in a touching Facebook post, Ntuli expressed gratitude for the gift of life, acknowledging the precariousness of the situation and the split-second decisions that spared her and others from harm. “So long as a person is still alive, I’m thankful for that,” she remarked, encapsulating the resilience and gratitude that characterised her response to the near-tragedy.
As Ntuli’s harrowing tale reverberates across social media platforms, it serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictability of life on the road and the importance of vigilance in the face of adversity.
