Spokesperson Russel Meiring says ER24 paramedics arrived on scene and found the
large truck on the side wedged up against a large tree.
Meiring said on
assessment paramedics discovered a male driver trapped inside the vehicle. Rescue
services had to use the Jaws of Life equipment to free the man in a one hour
operation.
"Once
freed from the vehicle, paramedics found that the patient had showed no signs
of life. Paramedics
began CPR and unfortunately after twenty minutes no signs of life returned and
the patient was declared dead" Meiring added.
