The man was driving along the N2 highway near the Cape Town International Airport on Thursday when his car was hit.
Western Cape emergency health services spokeswoman Keri Davids said the unidentified man was taken to hospital.
A passing motorist Ray Wright said he was driving from the airport after 2pm when he saw two men on an overhead bridge holding a rock and dropping it on the freeway.
"It hit a white car and it skidded all over the road before crashing into the barrier. The car got hit quite hard by the rock," Wright was quoted as saying.
"I could not see what happened to the driver but he hit so bad on the barrier I don't think he is still alive."
He stopped to check but a group of men emerged from the bush and started attacking a delivery truck.
The truck driver escaped unharmed.
Wright said he tried phoning police but could not get through.
According to the report, two delivery trucks were stoned and set alight in the vicinity on Thursday, amidst wage talks in the transport sector.
Provincial traffic chief Kenny Africa said the strike stoning reports could not be linked to the accident involving the white car.

Ohk where are all those who had alot of crap to say about police dealing with such behaviour from people striking???? i guea this is justified right??? Problem is the minute someone retaliates, they would be dealt with thoroughly. This lawlessness is realy getting out of hand, if i was a truck driver id drive directly on any crowd involved in this crap at a 180km/h, it will be necessary as i will be saving my own skinReport Abuse

Did anyone see that smug bugger from the union on TV this morning? He was grinning from ear to ear when he said, they can't prove it was union members so the union won't have to pay for the damage.I recon, every single person who was on strike should have a garnashe against his salary for the next two years to pay for all the damages. Maybe that would stop them.

VIVA DEMOCRACY!!!! I am sorry but what is wrong with black people that they must destroy and vandalise and injury innocent people when they march, protest or strike? Surely in a democracy one is entitled to saftey from these "people". Strike, protest and march by all means but show some fukken respect and self restraint!Report Abuse
