ONE person was killed and two others injured on June 5 when a truck and light motor vehicle collided on the N12 near the Voortrekker off-ramp in Alberton.

On closer inspection, paramedics found three people lying inside the light motor vehicle.
Paramedics assessed the patients and found that a woman, seated in the front of the vehicle, had sustained numerous fatal injuries. Nothing could be done for her and she was declared dead on scene.
Two other patients, both men, were tended to on scene. One man was found in a critical condition, while the second man had sustained moderate injuries.
