Pedrie Wannenburg, who played 20 Tests but unluckily missed out twice on going to the 2003 and 2007 World Cups, was killed in a multi-vehicle crash in Texas as a high-speed police chase ended in tragic circumstances.
According to local news station KHOU-11, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said a deputy had attempted to pull over a 16-year-old suspect, only for the car to speed away and lead to a chase.
The suspect eventually crashed into the back of Wannenburg's car near an intersection.

He was a very good player. Big, hard and skillful. Played over 300 matches of first class senior rugby. He played 99 consecutive Super Rugby matches for the Bulls. Twenty matches for the Boks.
RIP Legend!

Sad news. Very highly regarded from his time in Ulster.

Terrible news. So young, and under such awful circumstances.
Was part of an incredible Bulls side. Probably deserved a few more Bok caps.

Jaysus wept - life can be so bloody unfair.
Feel so sorry for his family who had to bear with that news out of the blue as well.
