One man died and another sustained critical injuries after a bakkie and a car collided at the R550 and the N14 intersection near Krugersdorp late last night.

Netcare 911’s spokesperson Chris Botha said that the exact details to the cause of the accident and preceding events will remain a subject of a police investigation.

Botha said when they arrived there one man has tragically died due to the very severe injuries that he sustained.

“The other man was in a critical condition; he was stabilised on scene and then transported to a nearby hospital for further care,” added Botha.

Meanwhile in another accident along Sterkfontein road a biker died after his bike collided into the rear end of a bakkie late last night.

Netcare 911’s spokesperson Chris Botha said the man in his 50’s was resuscitated for almost an hour but unfortunately he was declared deceased on scene.

Botha explains that upon their arrival the man was laying on the road in a very critical condition.

“Paramedics worked on him and he went into cardiac arrest and they tried to resuscitate him for some time, he tragically died on scene due to the extent of his injuries,” added Botha.
