Ekurhuleni Metro confirmed that the 29-year-old soccer star, Shaun Mogaila, who plays for Sekhukhune United, handed himself over to Rabie Ridge Police Station and was detained.
The mother and 13-year-old who were transported to hospital are in a very critical condition. The soccer star left the child dead in hit-and-run horror
He had allegedly fled the scene after a crash that killed a 9-year-old girl in Tembisa on Wednesday morning.
Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department spokesperson Thabiso Makgato said when they arrived at the scene, they found the mother and her 13-year-old still trapped in their car while the other driver was not at the scene.
The accident happened around 7.30am on Andrew Mapheto Road in Tembisa.
“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,” said Makgato.
“A female driver was transporting her nine-year-old daughter. The child succumbed to her injuries and was declared dead at the scene. The mother’s 13-year-old daughter sustained serious injuries and was transported to Tembisa Tertiary Hospital.”
She added that a case of culpable homicide, reckless and negligent driving, and leaving the scene of the accident has been opened at the Tembisa South police station.
