Cape Town - Proteas star batsman Jacques Kallis was apparently involved in a car crash in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

An eyewitness told Sport24 that Kallis had crashed a white Audi R8 through the gate of a neighbour's house off Herschel Walk in Wynberg, Cape Town around 02:30.

The witness said he awoke to an "almighty bang" and noticed a car inside his neighbour's property.

His wife, fearing a burglary was in progress, immediately called the police.

"Soon thereafter three cop cars arrived at the scene. I clearly saw it was Jacques Kallis behind the wheel. Kallis at no stage left the car," the witness told Sport 24.

"Kallis must've called his girlfriend as she arrived shortly thereafter and took him away once everyone had left.

"The car, which was severely damaged, was removed from the driveway by a tow truck," the witness added.

The Proteas star, currently involved in the Test series against India, scored his maiden double century in the first Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion last weekend.
