LUNGISANI “Mr Music” Mthethwa, who is the runner-up for the talent competition Idols SA, has survived a car accident.
He was hit by a truck in his home town of Richards Bay, KZN. He took to Facebook to share the sad news.
“A truck driver smashed my car and nearly got me and my brothers killed. He was drunk, swore at me and suddenly ran away. Luckily, the car was still on ignition and we were able to move,” said Mr Music.

“We ran after him. The left front tyre got off but we survived. We’re alive. To God, be the glory,” he posted.
Speaking to Daily Sun, Mr Music said: “The accident happened on Monday. I was waiting for the robot to turn green. Then, a truck came from behind and crashed into our stationary vehicle. Fortunately, I managed to chase him and got him arrested. Judging from his behaviour, I suspect he was driving under the influence of alcohol.”
He added that no one was injured, although the car was badly damaged.
“I thank God for my life, otherwise it could have been worse. No one was injured but I’m still emotionally disturbed. I reported the matter to the police and my insurance,” he said.
His friends and fans quickly started consoling him.
