A man has died after the vehicle he was traveling in overturned on the N1, near Klapmuts Road, in Joostenbergvlakte this afternoon.
ER24 spokesperson Tristan Wadeley says the bakkie is believed to have been traveling in the direction of Paarl when a tyre allegedly burst, causing the vehicle to overturn. The bakkie then crossed the centre island and hit an oncoming car.
“When paramedics arrived on the scene they found the man lying in the middle of the road and was unfortunately already dead.
“The driver of the bakkie declined to be transported to hospital. There were no injuries reported from the other vehicle involved,” said Wadeley.
The N1 was closed in the direction of Cape Town while emergency services worked on scene.
