“On closer inspection, medics found two men lying trapped inside the one truck. Assessments showed that one man had sustained serious injuries while the second man had sustained minor injuries.”

“Once freed, medics treated the men and provided the seriously injured man with pain-relief medication before they were transported to Sebokeng Provincial Hospital for further care,”Meiring added.
