According to ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring, “Paramedics, along with other services, arrived on scene and found the light motor vehicle, a sedan, lying in the veld some distance away from the road.
“Five occupants from the vehicle were found lying around the scene. One of the patients were found lying, dangling from a nearby small tree.
“On assessment, paramedics found that the patient in the tree and one other had sustained critical injuries while the three others had sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate.
“Emergency personal immediately began their treatment of the patients as well as providing the critically injured patients with advanced life support.
