Beloved cricket umpire Rudi Koertzen killed in car crash
The world-famous cricket umpire Rudi Koertzen and three other people died in a head-on collision near Riversdale on Tuesday morning.
The 73-year-old Koertzen, who hails from Despatch in Nelson Mandela Bay, was on his way back home from Cape Town after a golf weekend.
His son, Rudi Koertzen Jr says his father died on impact.
"There were two cars involved in the accident. There were three occupants with my father, that died during the accident.
"It seems like my father died on impact. He went to town on a golf tournament with some of his friends. They were expected to come back yesterday, it seems like they pushed another day of golf, so they left Cape Town this morning."
