Engaged couple saved by kindness of 2 cops after pothole strikes while on road trip

Briefly News previously reported that a couple hit a bump in the road while travelling to Mpumalanga and were saved by the men in blue.

Willie Labuschagne was travelling with his fiancée Shani Dreyer and when they reached 40 kilometres out of Witbank, they hit a huge pothole which resulted in both the left front and back tires bursting.

“Two minutes after we pulled over a police van with these two great officers stopped to assist us. Officers Evans and Linda took both our flat wheels and rims and went to the nearest place that was able to assist with some tires and after a while they came back, and we put back the wheels and were on our way again.”
