One man was killed and two others injured following a rear-end collision on the N3 highway near the London offramp near Modderfontein last night.
Paramedics arrived on the scene to find two light motor vehicles and a bakkie in the left-hand emergency lane.
Upon closer inspection, paramedics found the body of a man lying partially beneath one of the vehicles. An assessment showed that the man had sustained numerous injuries and showed no signs of life. Unfortunately, nothing could be done for him and he was declared dead.

Paramedics treated the patients and provided the critically injured man with advanced life support interventions. Once treated, the patients were transported to nearby hospitals for urgent treatment.
The details surrounding this incident are not yet known but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
