Netcare 911 spokesperson, Shawn Herbst said the driver of the vehicle lost control which resulted in it rolling over several times while crashing another vehicle and subsequently catching fire.

“It seems the driver had a medical emergency hence he lost control of his vehicle. He was treated on scene by Netcare 911 medics and taken to the hospital for further care. He sustained moderate injuries.

The other driver of the second vehicle, is okay,” said Herbst.
