3 people were injured yesterday afternoon (Friday) when a Toyota double-cab and a Opel collided head-on near the intersection of Thompson and Newcastle Road.
It is alleged that the Toyota was travelling out of town towards the Limit Hill robots and the Opel was trying to overtake other vehicles while coming into Ladysmith.
1 of the occupants in the Opel was seriously injured, while another sustained slight injuries. The driver of the Toyota also sustained slight injuries.
The injured were transported to hospital.
Sharaj Ambulance Services, EMRS and Public Safety responded to the scene.
Traffic control had to be carried out, as the lane going out of town was completely closed. Traffic was backlogged on both sides and had to pass the scene with caution. The road was opened again once the scene was cleared.
