Collision on N12 highway leaves six injured, traffic severely congested
Traffic was severely affected after a multi-vehicle accident on the N12 on Wednesday.
Six people were injured, on Wednesday morning, after a multi-vehicle collision on the N12 west-bound near the Kraft Road off-ramp.
“ER24 paramedics, along with another service, arrived on the scene to find the right two lanes of the highway completely blocked by several vehicles,” said Russel Meiring, spokesman for ER24.
“Upon closer inspection, paramedics found that two large trucks and four light motor vehicles had been involved in the collision.”
Paramedics found six patients walking among the vehicles.
The six patients were assessed and found to have sustained minor to moderate injuries. Fortunately, no serious or fatal injuries were reported on the scene.
“The patients were treated for their injuries and thereafter transported to nearby hospitals for further treatment,” said Meiring.
“The cause of the collision is not yet known but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.”
Traffic was heavily affected in the area for a number of hours.
