ER24 paramedics attended an accident late
last night after two vehicles collided head-on on the N12 in Fochville , Gauteng
Paramedic’s spokesperson Russel Meiring
said they arrived on scene and found two badly damaged vehicles lying on the
side of the road. Pieces of both vehicles lay scattered across the road.
Meiring added that on assessment, paramedics
discovered two men and young woman trapped inside their vehicle that lay on its
roof. Unfortunately both men had already succumbed to their severe injuries.
The young female patient lay in the back seat in a critical condition.
He emphasised that rescue services had to
use the jaws-of-life equipment to free the patient from the vehicle before
treatment could continue. Once freed, paramedics performed CPR, unfortunately
no signs of life returned.
“Two other patients were found lying in the
second vehicle in a critical condition. Both patients were carefully removed
from the vehicle and treated under advanced life support paramedics. Both
patients were thereafter transported to Potchefstroom Hospital
Exact details to the cause of the accident
will remain the subject of a police investigation
