But as big as his surprise was when he suddenly disappeared underneath the water, so much bigger was a motorist’s surprise when a man suddenly appeared from what he believed to be a big pool of water on the road.
Eugene van der Walt (46) said he was on his way to Gavendish Glen on his scrambler when he drove into the hole.
“I was on my way to draw money and had just polished my bike, as I was going for my driver’s licence. When I got to the intersection, the light was green for me.
“I saw a lot of mud and water and thought I would drive through it slowly, because I didn’t want to get my bike dirty. Next thing I knew I was underwater, it felt like I was drowning,” said Van der Walt.
