A man was killed and ten others injured last night when a bakkie and light motor vehicle collided head-on on the Welverdiend Road in Carletonville.
ER24 paramedics, along with other services, arrived on the scene to find both the bakkie and light motor vehicle lying on the opposite sides of the road.
Upon closer inspection, paramedics found two men lying inside the bakkie while several others were found lying around the scene.
Paramedics assessed the patients and found that the driver of the bakkie had already succumbed to his multiple, fatal injuries. Nothing could be done for the man and he was declared dead on the scene.
The passenger from the bakkie was assessed and found to be in a critical condition. The remaining nine patients were found to have sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate.
Paramedics treated the patients and provided the critically injured man with advanced life support interventions. Once treated, the critically injured man was airlifted by a private medical helicopter to a nearby hospital while the remaining patients were transported by ambulance.
The cause of the collision is not yet known but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
