Eyewitness, Jennifer Naidoo's told Newswatch the driver was held at gunpoint by two men.

"She reached in her car and tried to get her handbag out of the car and they didn't let her do that. They were pointing a gun at her and pointed the gun at us as we tried to help her which we couldn't because they had a gun. Another vehicle then chased after the car," she says.
