Eight drivers were injured while three drivers were seriously injured in a head-on collision in Eerste River yesterday afternoon.

A construction vehicle lost control and collided with an oncoming vehicle.


The City’s Traffic Spokesperson, Merle Lourens said the accident took place in Forest Drive.

Lourens said it is alleged that the driver of the construction vehicle had been travelling on the incorrect side of the road and in fact caused a head-on collision between the two.

The injured drivers were taken to Tygerberg Hospital and the passengers in the construction vehicle were treated for minor injuries.
