Police allegedly shot the man after he failed to stop at a roadblock.

JOHANNESBURG – A man has been shot dead in his car in Hatfield in Pretoria.

The incident happened near the Hatfield Gautrain station on Friday morning.

Netcare 911's Athlenda Mathe says, “When we arrived on the scene the man was found slumped on the driver’s seat, unresponsive. We then began initiating CPR... This went on for about 30 minutes. Sadly, there was nothing more that could be done for the man.”

It's believed the man may have been shot by police or Metro Police but authorities are yet to confirm this.

A single bullet hole has been shot through the front windscreen of the vehicle, which is stopped about 100 metres from the Gautrain station.

A few dozen onlookers have gathered, but they say they did not witness the shooting.

It’s alleged that the driver did not stop when asked to by police officials, who were staging a roadblock.

Eyewitness News understands the man was an employee of the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services.
