JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - A U.S. photographer for National Geographic was fighting for his life on Saturday after a chunk of concrete smashed through the windshield of his car and hit him in the head near a poor South African township, local newspapers reported.
Bobby Model, 34, was on life support in a Cape Town hospital, the reports said. He was in a car driven by his sister when he was struck Thursday afternoon near the Monwabisi resort, which is close to Khayelitsha, one of Cape Town's many sprawling poor townships, the papers said. His sister Faith, 32, was not hurt.
Many parts of Cape Town's busy highways have become notorious over the past few years for spates of stone-throwing — attacks with seemingly no clear purpose. Last year, a man was killed after a brick was hurled through his windshield.
