An accident this morning on the R67 between Ixopo and
Netcare 911 Spokesperson Santi Steinmann
said when paramedics arrived on the scene and assessed the patients it was
found that two people had tragically lost their lives and seventeen people
sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate.
Steinmann said one of the people were
entrapped in the vehicle and services had to make use of the Jaws of Life to
extricate the injured patient from the vehicle.
Meanwhile
in another accident seven people were left injured after a truck and a taxi
collided on the N3 highway near Hillcrest in KwaZulu Natal.
ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said when
paramedics arrived on the scene they found a taxi stationed on the side of the
road. When paramedics assessed the
patients they found that seven occupants of the taxi had sustained minor
injuries.
Meiring said the driver of the truck did
not sustain any injuries.
The exact details of the cause of the
accident will remain the subject of a police investigation.
