A man died and his son has been seriously injured after their bakkie crashed down an embankment in Roodepoort, Gauteng.
Netcare 911's Jeffrey Wicks says it appears that the bakkie was towing a trailer with livestock on it when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
The bakkie rolled several times before it came to rest at the foot of the gully.
When paramedics arrived at the scene, the man had already died.
His 15-year-old son was stabilised and is receiving treatment in hospital.
