The incident occurred on the N2 near Borcherds Quarry in Cape Town on Monday.

“Information at hand indicates that the metro police officers were dispatched to the N2 inbound near Borcherds Quarry just after 02:00 after camera operators detected rocks on the roadway," Mayoral committee member for safety and security JP Smith said.
"Officers responded, but in the meantime, a motorist drove over the rocks and stopped on the side of the road to attend to a burst tyre. While doing so, another vehicle pulled over and one of the occupants shot the motorist."
