Johannesburg - Bryce Moon could have endangered a potential move to West Ham after being involved in a car crash on Monday morning that has left a woman dead.
The Bafana Bafana right back was driving back from a Confederations Cup after party hosted by captain Aaron Mokoena and allegedly knocked down a domestic worker, Mavis Ncube, who was refused entry into two state hospitals and later passed away.
The Sowetan newspaper reports that 'Moon was also charged with culpable homicide after blood samples were taken from him at the clinic. Police are waiting for the results of the blood tests.'
The publication also revealed that Johannesburg Metro police spokesperson Superintendant Wayne Minnaar confirmed the incident by saying: "Moon sustained head injuries that is why he was taken to hospital instead of the police station."
Meanwhile, Gauteng health spokesperson Mandla Sidu admits the doctors' strike may have played a part in Ncube's death.
"We are still gathering information as to why she was turned away," he said.
"We are trying to ascertain if it had anything to do with the doctors' strike."
Skysports.com reported on Monday that West Ham have lodged an offer worth £1.5million for the Panathinaikos defender, but the Hammers will probably hold back their interest until the matter is solved.
