“Cindy Makhathini explains what caused the car accident she was involved in two days ago.”

In the video, Cindy Makhathini described the incident as a freak accident. She said when they got to the Sasol fuel station, her friend, identified as Ayanda, asked her to help zip up her dress.

“After we drove into the garage, she's like, Chommie, can you please zip me up, and I'm like, sharp Chommie, let's just park, and then I'll zip you up,” she said.

Cindy Makhathini shared that she had her foot on the brake pedal but forgot to shift her car, an Omoda, into park. While she was zipping up her friend, her foot slipped from the brake to the accelerator, causing the car to surge forward and crash.

“I did not put my car in park. I had my foot on the brake, I had it there, and I was so sure. Usually, I know myself, like when I park before I put the P, I put my full brake, and then I press the P. I swear to God, I don't know what happened. So, I'm trying to zip her up. I don’t know how my foot moved from the brake to the accelerator,” Cindy explained.

“Social media ‘fame’ is the worst drug. How can you come here and make it easy for insurance to reject your claim? All because you need to explain yourself to people who don’t care.”

@SthembiD said:

“Yah, no. Beauty without brains really annoys me. This video was unnecessary 😒”

@yangamessi claimed:

“She’s making content already 💀 you bought the license, that’s what happened.”

@mamgqiga suggested:

“Negligence, she must be arrested!”

@niscfarms shared:

“Classic case of lack of experience in driving. Why on earth would you stop and not put your car in park? You stop the car, put it in P, then you switch it off, then remember to unbuckle your seatbelt and zip your friend 😂 you can’t say ‘I dunno what happened’, you do 😂”
