Netcare 911 Spokesperson Santi Steinmann said upon assessment of the occupants, paramedics found that the twenty-five-year-old driver sustained serious injuries during the crash, while the male passenger tragically lost his life during the crash.

Steinmann said the injured man was treated at the scene and transported to hospital for further medical care. The deceased passenger was entrapped in the wreckage and the fire department had to make use of the Jaws of Life to extricate him from the wreckage.

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