ONE person was killed and three others sustained critical injuries when their vehicle crashed into a wall on Main Reef Road in Crown Mines on Sunday morning, March 20.
At about 06:00 paramedics from ER24 and the City of Johannesburg EMS arrived on the scene where they found a bakkie near the damaged wall of a building, several meters away from the road. It is believed that the bakkie collided with the pavement on the side of the road and crashed into the wall of the building.
Werner Vermaak, ER24 spokesperson, said, “Paramedics found the three critically injured patients lying near the damaged vehicle. A woman, believed to be in her thirties, was found with fatal injuries still trapped inside the vehicle.
“While paramedics were assessing the patients they noticed that the patients had several items of clothes removed from their bodies. Upon enquiry they were informed that a group of bystanders arrived on the scene moments after the crash and apparently stole all their personal belongings, including their clothes and shoes. The injured also stated that the bystanders went through the damaged vehicle and took several items.”
The injured men sustained several fractures and were stabilised on the scene before they were transported to a nearby hospital for further care. Firefighters had to use rescue tools to free the woman’s body from the wreckage.
