Netcare 911 today responded to an accident on the N8 outside Bloemfontein, which left one person dead and five people injured.

The exact detail of the cause of the accident is being investigated by the police. 

Netcare 911’s Santi Steinmann said that upon the arrival on scene they found that a light delivery vehicle has collided with another vehicle.

Steinmann added that one person tragically died during the accident and five people sustained moderate injuries and the Jaws of Life had to be used to extricate the seriously injured man.  

All the injured people were treated on scene before being transported to nearby hospitals for further medical care, the exact details of the cause of the accident and the preceding events are unclear and will remain the subject of police investigation.
