Truck drives over car
The driver of the truck also had to be cut from the truck's cabin.
Last night (13 March) at around 11pm three people were hospitalised after a truck had run over a motor vehicle.
According to sources on the scene the truck was travelling on Albertina Sisulu Road from Krugersdorp when the driver either did not stop or its brakes failed at the Corlett Avenue intersection. The driver of the mangled sedan managed to crawl from the vehicle to the pavement regardless of having a broken leg. Emergency services had to use the Jaws of Life and struggled for more than an hour to free the passenger. She was airlifted to hospital.
The driver of the truck also had to be cut from the truck’s cabin.
The cause of the accident is the subject of a police investigation.
