This is sad news.

One of my favorite South African Actress.


It is with sincere regret that the Callie family confirms that earlier today Ashley passed away as a result of the head injuries she sustained in a car accident," her family said in a statement.

"Ashley continues to live on in our hearts and minds."

The family thanked the doctors and staff for their professionalism in caring for their loved one.

The 32-year-old actress, best known for her role as Lee Haines in the TV soap opera Isidingo, was in an accident on the corner of 4th Avenue and Tana Road in Johannesburg last week

Isidingo executive producer Pumla Hopa said she was deeply shocked by Callie's death. She, along with the crew and cast of the popular soap opera were being assisted by trauma counsellors at the studio on Friday afternoon.

"I'm shocked, I can't think of the words to express my condolences to Ashley's family and friends at this difficult time... I'm sorry, I can't be very eloquent at this time, words fail me," she said.

Callie was driving alone in a Smart Car, when a head-on collision with a Renault occurred.

The driver of the Renault, a man, and two woman passengers were also seriously injured and transported to Milpark hospital. - Sapa

Wow shocked ! Condolences to the family!

Guys dont get me wrong when i say this but i also love the attractive "lee",but i havnt heard a whisper about the other poor folkes that we injured,they r humanbeings as well,just my thoughts........

agreed gary - just can't get over the fact that so many people die on the roads- perhaps fuel crisis will help if gov imposes lower driving speeds - pity about the sensless loss of life

heart felt condolences to all the family but south africa is just SAD NEWS ALL OVER and i know i am going to hear from all the SA supporters i feel there is just no future left here for me everything is in a mess zimbabwe here we come

LOL

When is all this shit going to end, thats all one hears about day in and day out... how many people r killed on roads, musdered, stabbed... stuff these people!!!

Guys I have to agree with G man. I lived in SA for 30 years and return regularly and SA drivers have become the worst I have experienced in the world....there is no law and order on the roads. I am amazed at how many motorists drive thru RED robots, and that is everyone, how many motorists disregard the rules of the road...unbelievable...when will this shit stop!!!!!
