This Morning Netcare Paramedics responded to an accident scene on the corner of Witkoppen Road and Malibongwe Drive.

When they arrived they found that a minibus had crashed into the back of a delivery vehicle.

Exact details of the accident are unclear at this stage but police are investigating.

Netcare 911’s Santi Steinmann said one man sustained critical injuries and was entrapped in the minibus and the Jaws of Life had to be used to free the man.

Steinmann adds after the man was treated on scene he was rushed to a nearby hospital for the urgent medical treatment he required.

Two men that were travelling at the back of the delivery vehicle sustained serious injuries and they were also treated on scene before being transported to the Netcare Olivedale hospital, said Steinmann
