One killed in weekend crash between truck and bakkie

An accident between a truck and bakkie left one person dead and another injured on the N14 after the R24 in Randfontein.

A man believed to be in his 20s was killed and another person injured when a truck and bakkie collided on Sunday afternoon, July 18.

Russel Meiring, ER24 spokesperson said their paramedics and other services arrived on scene at approximately 14:40 to find the wrecked bakkie and truck on the side of the road.

“A man was found lying trapped inside the bakkie while the male truck driver was found walking around on the scene,” said Meiring.

He said paramedics assessed the patients but found that the man entrapped in his vehicle had unfortunately succumbed to his injuries. Nothing could be done for him and he was declared dead. The driver of the truck only had minor injuries.

“Paramedics treated the man and thereafter transported him to a nearby hospital for further care.”

Russel said local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
