A man died and two others were seriously injured yesterday after a head-on collision between a SUV and a light motor vehicle on the N9 near George.

ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said on arrival on scene, paramedics discovered the two vehicles pushed together on the side of the road. The light motor vehicle had been pushed up against the embankment and had sustained severe damage.

Meiring added that they surveyed the scene and discovered a male patient lying trapped behind the steering wheel of the light motor vehicle. Unfortunately the man had already succumbed to his severe injuries.

“Two occupants from the SUV were found sitting next to their vehicle. Both patients were found to have sustained moderate injuries. The patients were treated for their injuries and thereafter transported them to nearby hospital for further treatment.” Meiring said

The exact details of the cause of the accident will remain the subject of a police investigation.
