Collision leaves one dead, another critical in Fourways
According to ER24, a woman was killed and another was left critically injured when a light motor vehicle rear-ended a truck.
ER24 responded to a rear-end collision on June 15 on the N1-Highway before the William Nicol turn-off in Fourways.
ER24 and other services arrived on the scene shortly after 10:00 to find a truck and light motor vehicle in the middle of the busy road.
“Upon closer inspection, medics found two women lying in the front of the light motor vehicle.
Medics assessed them and found that the driver had already succumbed to her numerous injuries. Nothing could be done for her, and she was declared dead. The passenger was found with several wounds and was in critical condition,” said ER24 in a statement.
“The Fire Services had to use specialised equipment to free the woman from the car. Once released, she was treated and provided with advanced life support interventions before she was airlifted by a private medical helicopter to a nearby hospital.”
The driver of the truck, fortunately, escaped injury.
Local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
