Paramedics and
the team from the Boksburg fire department this morning responded to a
scene of a single vehicle roll over on Main Reef road in Boksburg.
ER 24 Spokesperson Vanessa Jackson said when they arrived on scene they
found that the light motor vehicle had left the road, crashed into the
perimeter fence of a local business and then landed in its roof in the
water of an overflow canal below.
Jackson
said two young men were found to have been occupants of the vehicle, both
believed to be in their 30's. Sadly one man had died as a result of the
injuries that he had sustained while the other was fortunate to have
survived the collision with moderate injuries only.
“The Jaws of Life needed to be used to cut away at the wreckage to remove
the surviving man, and he was later transported to Tambo Memorial hospital
for further care” she said.
The cause of the accidents and a series of events that led to accident are
still being investigated by the local police.
