“The second man was assessed and found to have sustained only moderate injuries. He was treated and thereafter transported to Leslie Williams Hospital for further treatment. The man later told paramedics that a tyre of the bakkie apparently had burst, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.”
However, the exact cause of the incident is not yet known but local authorities were on the scene to investigate.
