A man in his 30s sustained moderate injuries while
two others sustained minor injuries after a four vehicle collision on the N1
near Beyer Naude in Johannesburg North.
ER24 paramedics arrived on scene and found the four
vehicles stationed on the fast lane of the highway. One of the vehicles had
been badly damaged.
ER24 Spokesman Russel Meiring said on assessment of
the scene, paramedics discovered that one patient lay trapped inside his
vehicle in a moderate condition. Two other patients from other vehicles
sustained only minor injuries.
Meiring said Rescue workers had to use the
jaws-of-life equipment to free the patient before treatment could continue.
Meiring said once freed, paramedics provided the
patient with advanced life support and thereafter transported him to a nearby
hospital for further treatment.
Meiring said the remaining patients were treated
for their injuries and thereafter transported to nearby hospitals for further
observations.
“The cause of the incident is not yet known but
local authorities were on scene for further investigations Meiring added.
