One people have died in a vehicle collision occurred on the N1 highway in the direction of Paarl.
ER24 spokesperson Andre Visser says a vehicle traveling in the direction of Cape Town allegedly lost control and crossed trough the dividing bushes separating the ingoing and out going traffic.
“The vehicle then collided head on with a vehicle traveling in the direction of Paarl before overturning and landing on its roof.
“When ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene they found two occupants still trapped, upside down, in the vehicle. The passenger sustained significant injuries to her upper body and was later declared dead at the scene,” said Visser.
Visser added that the driver of the vehicle needed to be extricated by Metro rescue and was removed from the vehicle in an upside down position. She sustained only minor injuries to her extremities.
“There were two occupants in the vehicle traveling in the direction of Paarl. Fortunately they sustained only minor injuries. Both of them received treatment at the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital. The appropriate authorities will be investigating the incident, said Visser.
