while coming down Wilderness Heights. The police stated that an investigation
has been opened after a three year old boy was declared dead on scene.
Team Manager, Martin Booysen
says the deceased was the son of one of the players, as well as the grandson of
the club’s chairperson, who’s currently in hospital.
According to Ross Campbell,
the spokesperson for ER24, “They had apparently taken this road through the back of
Wilderness to connect to the N2 as the Saasveld Road was closed due to flood
damage.
“Two men in their 30s were found entrapped in
the vehicle and in a critical condition. They required advanced life support
interventions, and their extraction took a long time, a combined effort led by
Metro Rescue.
The bus was removed from the
scene on Sunday morning.
