A man died this morning on the R21 in Ermelo, Mpumalanga after his car t-boned a truck and a trailer.

ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said ER24 paramedics along with other services arrived on the scene and we found a truck and a red light motor vehicle lying in the middle of the road.

Meiring said the light motor vehicle was found wedged beneath the trailer of the truck.

Meiring added that, on assessment, paramedics found the lifeless body of the male patient lying trapped inside his vehicle.

Unfortunately the patient had already succumbed to his multiple fatal injuries.

“Nothing more could be done for the patient and he was declared dead on scene.”

Rescue services had to use jaws-of-life equipment to later free the trapped body from the vehicle.

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