Netcare 911 paramedics and other services responded to an accident on the N1 near Mokopane in Limpopo this morning, whereby a man died and left two people injured.

Netcare 911 Spokesperson Santi Steinmann said when they arrived on scene they found that a heavy goods vehicle had rear-ended another heavy goods vehicle.

“One man tragically lost his life during the accident while two people were entrapped in the vehicle and had sustained moderate and serious injuries respectively. Services made use of the Jaws of Life to extricate the entrapped people from the vehicle.” Steinmann added.

She further added that the injured people were treated on scene before they were transported to hospital for further medical care.

Exact detail to the cause of the accident and preceding events will remain the subject of a police investigation.
