An accident on the R103 near the Country Village on the Midland Meander left one person dead. 

It is believed that a small bakkie collided into the back of a Toyota Hilux. 

When paramedics arrived on the scene they found that the 60-year-old man was trapped in the wreckage. 

ER24 Spokesperson Vanessa Jackson said when paramedics arrived on the scene they found that the man was trapped inside the wreckage.

“It looks like due to the age of the bakkie that it just crumpled around him, sadly resulting in him losing his life and he was declared deceased on the scene,” added Jackson.

She added that the driver of the second bakkie fortunately suffered no physical injuries and he left the scene privately.
