Two men were killed and another two were injured when a light delivery vehicle and a car collided on the N17 by the Syferfontein turnoff outside of Trichardt on Saturday, October 22.
Russel Meiring, spokesman for ER24, said ER24 and another service arrived on the scene at 18h45 to find that the two vehicles were on the road. Several people were seen either lying around the vehicles or walking on the scene.
“Medics assessed the patients and found that two men were in critical condition, having sustained numerous injuries, while two other men had sustained moderate injuries. Another man and woman had escaped injury.”
The patients were treated, and the two critically injured men were provided with advanced life support.
“Unfortunately, the one critically injured man succumbed to his injuries on the scene,” said Meiring.
Once treated, the patients were transported to nearby hospitals for urgent care.
According to Meiring, the second critically injured man died upon arrival at the hospital.
The exact details surrounding this incident are unknown, but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
