Spokesperson Russel Meiring said they arrived on scene and found a mass
casualty scene. On inspection, paramedics discovered that roughly 20 people had
sustained injuries ranging from minor to critical.
He added that an incident commander took
control of the scene, which delegated the patients to the various services on
scene. All the patients were found lying on the side of the road.
“Paramedics began their treatment of the patients while providing the critically injured patients with advanced life support. Once treated, all the patients were transported to various hospital including Mediclinic Hoogland for further treatment.” Meiring said.
Exact details to the cause of the accident will
remain the subject of a police investigation.
