A HORROR motor vehicle accident rocked Mitchells Plain on Wednesday afternoon, when a pedestrian was ripped in two.

At around 4pm, residents were alarmed again as sirens blared along Eisleben Road after a BMW driver allegedly struck a pedestrian, creating a horrific scene that also triggered a pile-up involving four other vehicles.
