Four people were transported to hospital after sustaining injuries in a collision on Klipheuwel Road in the Western Cape yesterday.

ER 24 paramedics, Fire and Rescue Services and Metro Rescue arrived on scene and found that 14 people were involved in the collision between a bakkie and car.

Bodasing said four had sustained minor injuries. They were transported to Mediclinic Cape Gate for further medical care.

Meanwhile another incident in the Western Cape occurred yesterday when a pedestrian believed to be in his early 20’s, was killed after being knocked on the N2 heading towards the Cape Town Vanguard turnoff.

Chitra Bodasing for ER24 said ER24 and paramedics, Metro as well as other services arrived on scene and found the man on the outbound lane.
