According to Sowetan, the star was involved in a collision with a taxi driver in Soweto on October 16. A source told the publication that the driver allegedly punched Abigail while she was trying to apologise.

Several attempts by TshisaLIVE to contact Abigail and her management for  comment, including through her management, were unsuccessful at the time of publishing this article.
