A crashed between two vehicles on the R27 between the Melkbos and Duynefontein turn-offs has left two people dead and another two in a serious condition.
ER24’sTristan Wadeley says the two occupants of the one vehicle were declared dead on arrival of emergency services. It appeared as though one of the occupants had been ejected from the vehicle, and the other man was still trapped in the vehicle.
“The two patients from the other vehicle, a man and woman both believed to be in their fifties, which were still in their vehicle that was lying on its roof by the side of the road, were taken out by rescue crews from the fire department and Metro Rescue, the 'jaws of life' had to be used to help free the one patient,” says Wadeley.
“The female patient was taken to Milnerton Medi-Clinic and the male patient to N1 City Hospital by ER24 ambulances, both patients were in a serious condition.”The R27 was closed in both directions during the incident; SAPS and Metro Police were in attendance.
