Cindy Makhathini crashes into petrol station

Social media influencer Cindy Makhathini recently found herself in an unfortunate situation after she crashed her car into a Sasol petrol station.

Taking to her Instagram story to narrate the incident, she shared that her car sustained minor scratches, while the garage suffered significant damage. She added that no one was injured from the accident.

“I just crashed my car, not just crashed but crashed into a Sasol garage,” she penned, posting pictures of the scene.

“Luckily, no one was hurt. Also, my car was just scratched, but the damage I caused to the garage is too much. I am so lucky the owner was so kind and gentle with the situation,” she added.

Cindy also shared that she was not drunk.

“FYI, I was not drunk. We were driving with a baby in the car, and it was a long distance,” she said.

“The car is still moving, but that is just the least of my worries. The damage I caused at that garage is too much, but I cooperated with the police and the owner. The police did a breathalyser test, and there was no alcohol in my blood. It was just an honest mistake,” she added.

Meanwhile a TikTok user who seemingly went to buy at the Sasol garage shop, @damreh shared a video clip of an eyewitness narrating how the accident occurred.

“It was parked here. It came in slowly, like how a car would move if it’s in first gear without the accelerator engaged,” said the man in the video.
