One person died and another five people sustained serious and moderate injuries when two vehicles allegedly collided head-on in Plantation Road, near Klip Road, in Grassy Park late this morning.

ER24’s Emergency Media & Client Liaison for the Western Cape, Tristan Wadeley said the driver of a Hyundai Elantra, was dead on arrival of emergency services after his vehicle and a Toyota Conquest, carrying five people, hit head-on.

“Of the five patients from the Conquest, two patients sustained serious injuries, with the other three patients sustaining moderate injuries. The patients were taken by ambulances to various surrounding hospitals for further treatment,” said Wadeley

The exact events were unclear on the scene but SAPS were in attendance and are investigating the accident.
