A serious collision on the N2 at the
Bhunga turn off in Langa late last night left one man died and another in a
critical condition.
It is believed that a light delivery
vehicle had been stationery at the side of the road when a light motor vehicle
collided into it.
Police are investigating the
accident. ER24’s Vanessa Jackson said when
paramedics arrived on the scene; they found that the driver of the VW Polo did
not survive his injuries.
“Him and the passenger were found
trapped in the vehicle; paramedics had to use Jaws of Life to cut the passenger
free.
“After a long duration, paramedics had
the passenger free and transported him to the Groote Schuur hospital for
further care where he remains in a critical condition” Jackson added.
Meanwhile, in another accident a
pedestrian was knocked down on the N17 near Ergo
Road in Brakpan this morning.
The exact details to the cause of
the accident and preceding events will remain the subject of a police
investigation.
Netcare 911’s Santi Steinmann said paramedics found the victim dead due to extensive injuries received.
“Unfortunately there was nothing
further paramedics could do to for the pedestrian” Steinmann added.
