MOSSEL BAY NEWS - A month-and-a-half after losing his leg in an accident, Jacques Mostert has acquired another motorbike; a Harley Davidson. 

Jacques, a well-known Mossel Bay businessman, collided with a truck in the Outeniqua Pass on 2 December. He was riding a KTM.

His son, riding a short distance behind him, assisted him after the accident. 

Jacques was rushed to hospital in George after having lost a great deal of blood. His right leg was amputated just below the hip.

News of the crash spread like wildfire on Facebook and WhatsApp groups and many prayed for Jacques.

In response to, "Wow, it's a miracle you survived," he says: "Absolutely! It was a head-on collision and I flat-lined twice in one day."

Currently, Jacques is in a hospital in Mossel Bay. On Friday 17 January, the Mossel Bay Advertiser paid him a visit. Lo and behold, there was Jacques, with the cheekiest grin from ear to ear and eyes sparkling - and next to him a gleaming, Harley Davidson. 

"He also got his wheelchair today," someone remarked. "So, it was two vehicles on one day."

"People must keep praying for Jacques; the prayers help," one of Jacques' visitors told the Mossel Bay Advertiser.
