Miss South Africa, Dr. Ade van Heerden has sustained minor injuries after being involved in a car accident on Sunday.
The beauty queen was driving the Nissan X Trail that she received as part of her prize package when she took over the crown at the end of 2017.
The accident happened in Randpark Ridge in Johannesburg and according to the Miss SA PR team, there were no serious injuries resulting from the accident.
Miss South Africa organisers say they are awaiting full details of the accident from the police but are thankful to everyone for their good wishes and ask that the public respect Ade’s privacy while she recovers.
Ade became Miss SA last year when Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters won the Miss Universe crown.
