Two people have died and roughly sixteen
others injured in a collision between a car and taxi on the R511 William Nicol
Drive earlier this morning.
ER24 Spokesperson Chitra Bodasing said
when ER24 paramedics and other services arrived on scene they found several
people scattered all over the scene. Some patients were entrapped in the
vehicles.
Bodasing added that unfortunately
there was nothing paramedics could do for the child and one adult. Fire and
Rescue Services extricated patients who were trapped. Patients were treated and
transported to various hospitals.
In a separate accident a boy
believed to be two years old and another believed to be three years old died in
a collision between a bakkie and truck in the early hours of this morning.
The collision took place on the N12
before Ogies, direction Witbank.
ER24 Spokesperson Chitra Bodasing said
when ER24 paramedics and other services arrived on scene they found the bakkie
lying in its side.
“The two year old boy was found
lying on the road and the three year old was found on the gravel. Both were
assessed. Unfortunately they had succumbed to their severe injuries. They were
declared dead,” Bodasing added.
She also said that two adults who
were injured in the collision were treated on scene by paramedics and rushed to
hospital for further medical care.
The exact details to the cause of
the collisions will remain the subject of a police investigation
