However, Van Reenen says it then emerged that the man might actually have fallen off the back of a van, before being hit by passing vehicles.
"When Crisis Medical paramedics arrived on scene they found the severely dismembered remains of a man, believed to be about 30-years-old, lying in the centre lane of the highway," said Van Reenen.
There was nothing emergency services could do to assist him.
Van Reenen says paramedics declared him dead at the scene.
He says police were on scene and are investigating the exact circumstances leading up to the crash.
