assaulted

South African swimming Olympian Terence Parkin said he was attacked in an apparent road rage incident on the N3 this week but the motorist involved in the altercation said there were two sides to the story.

On Tuesday, the deaf silver and gold medallist was driving through Free State, on his way from Durban to Johannesburg, when a motorist in a BMW allegedly tried to force him off the road.

The incident, which was captured in multiple videos from Parkin’s dashcam, occurred near the Engen Vaal petrol station as Parkin changed lanes to avoid road works.
