While firemen used the Jaws of Life to free the injured paramedics had to clamber into the wreckages to stabilize the injured.
Botha added that
after the injured were extricated and deftly immobilized on a trauma boards
they transported them to local hospitals for the care that they required.
Exact detail to
the cause of the accident and preceding events will remain a subject for police
