A
woman in her 20’s was killed and a man seriously injured yesterday after their
vehicle collided with a tree on the N12 Road Stilfontein , North
West
ER24
spokesperson, Russel Meiring, said ER24 paramedics responded to the scene, and
on their arrival, the found the light motor vehicle off onto the side of the
road. Two bodies, a male and female lay a few metres away from the vehicle.
Meiring
said paramedics assessed the patients and found that the female had sustained a
severe, fatal injury to her head. Unfortunately nothing more could be done for
the patient and she was declared dead.
“The
male patient was found to have sustained serious injuries to his head and
chest. Paramedics treated the patient and provided him with advanced life
support interventions. He was thereafter transported to a nearby hospital for
further treatment” Meiring said.
Meiring
added that it is understood that the driver lost control, causing the vehicle
to collide with a tree and roll multiple times. Both patients were then ejected
from the vehicle.
While
paramedics were dealing with the first collision, a second collision occurred
in the same place due to the debris in the road. Fortunately both occupants
escaped injury.
The
exact details surrounding the cause of the incident will remain the subject of
a police investigation.
