An accident late last night involving a bakkie and a light motor vehicle left one person dead and three others seriously injured outside Welkom. 

It is believed that the light motor vehicle collided into the side of the bakkie resulting in it overturning several times. 

ER24 Spokesperson Werner Vermaak said when paramedics arrived on the scene they found the bakkie well alight. Bystanders managed to pull two children as well as two adults out of the vehicle.

Vermaak said sadly a father had already died to the serious injuries that he had sustained.  The mother was in a critical condition and the two children in a serious condition.

“Another person believed to be the driver of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries” Vermaak added.
