Bottles of alcohol and drugs were reportedly found in Sekhukhune United player Shaune Mogaila’s BMW after he fled the scene.
Sekhukhune United player Shaune Mogaila has turned himself in to police after fleeing the scene of a horrific head-on collision on Andrew Mapheto Road in Tembisa on Wednesday morning.
The 29-year-old Mogaila appears to have only sustained a small bruise on his forehead while a nine-year-old girl tragically lost her life.

The deceased girl’s mother and a 13-year-old neighbour were rushed to Tembisa Hospital with serious injuries.
According to Ekurhuleni metro police spokesperson Thabiso Makgato, the woman was taking the children to school when her red Hyundai Grand i10 collided with Mogaila’s BMW at about 7.30am.
Makgato confirmed that the PSL star turned himself in at the Rabie Ridge Police Station on Wednesday afternoon.

She added that metro police officers found four bottles of “potent alcohol named Don Julio” in Mogaila’s car when they arrived at the scene this morning.
“Powder, which we suspect could be cocaine, and weed [cannabis] edibles were also found in his vehicle,” Makgato revealed.
“The female driver was traumatised and inconsolable. She cried about her daughter who died on the scene. By the time we as community members arrived on the scene, we had learnt that the soccer player had fled the scene,” an on-scene source told The Star.
A case of culpable homicide, reckless and negligent driving, as well as fleeing the scene of an accident, has been opened.
