Social Media Influencer Cindy Makhathini Crashes Into Sasol Petrol Station, No Injuries Reported
Social media influencer Cindy Makhathini recently found herself in an unexpected incident when she crashed her car into a Sasol petrol station. Thankfully, she confirmed that no one was injured during the mishap.
Makhathini shared the incident on her Instagram Stories, posting photos of the scene and describing the crash.
“I just crashed my car, not just crashed but crashed into a Sasol garage,” she wrote.
According to Makhathini, her car only sustained minor scratches, while the petrol station suffered significant damage.
“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.
She was quick to clarify that she was not under the influence of alcohol at the time.
“FYI, I was not drunk. We were driving with a baby in the car, and it was a long distance. 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,” Makhathini said.
The influencer added that she would provide further details once she had “calmed down.”
Meanwhile, a video featuring an eyewitness account of the incident was shared on X.

“It was parked here. It came in slowly, like how a car would move if it’s in first gear without the accelerator engaged,” the man said in the video.
While the crash caused material damage to the petrol station, the quick response and calm cooperation from Makhathini ensured that the incident did not result in injury
