An accident on Sir Lowreys Pass in Gordons Bay earlier today left two people dead. This is after a motorbike and an SUV collided into each other.

ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said ER24 paramedics arrived on scene and found a SUV lying on its side in the middle of the road. A motorcycle lay a few metres away with the body of the driver lying next to it.

Meiring added that on assessment, paramedics discovered that both the motorcycle driver as well as the driver of the SUV had sustained fatal injuries in the collision. Unfortunately nothing more could be done for both patients.

“Rescue services had to use the jaws-of-life equipment to later free the deceased driver from the SUV.” Meiring said.

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