A motorist who raced away while a policeman was in his car searching for drugs, killed them both when he crashed in Rosebank, Johannesburg, during a high speed chase on Thursday morning.
Police spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini, said that the two police officers stopped the Audi R8 and searched it.
When they found a small amount of dagga, the driver sped off with one police officer still inside the vehicle.
The other policeman gave chase in the police van.
The Audi driver lost control in Rosebank and hit a tree, a wall and a light pole.
The policeman and the suspect were declared dead at the scene.
