The woman was walking her dog on the dike in Jaarsveld around 5 p.m. For unknown reasons she ended up in the water. A local resident tells how he was hit by a car and saw the woman trying to keep her head above water. “Bystanders held the woman by her arm and I immediately parked the car and went to get some stairs and blankets,” says the Jaarsvelder, who prefers to remain anonymous.
