This morning ER24 paramedics responded to an accident at the corners of Buitenkant and Darling Streets. 

A Toyota Corolla and a double can Hilux bakkie collided into each other leaving one person dead. 

Investigation into the accident is being conducted by police. 

ER24 Spokesperson Vanessa Jackson said when they arrived on scene the metro services were already performing CPR on one of the occupants of the Toyota Corolla that had allegedly been ejected from the vehicle.

Jackson added that they tried everything to revive the man but sadly there was no change in his condition and he was later declared deceased on the scene.

She said that there was another two men in the same car and they were treated for moderate injuries and taken to the New Somerset hospital for further care.

“At this time we believe that the occupants of the double cab were actually detained for questions by the police and they suffered no physical injuries that needed further care in hospital and police are still investigating what caused this fatal crash,” said Jackson.
