3 injured as truck crashes into Meyerton house
Three people were injured on Tuesday when the truck they were travelling in crashed into a house in Meyerton, east of Johannesburg.
The exact cause of the crash is still unclear.
ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring says paramedics arrived on the scene to find that the truck had smashed into the side of the house.
Three men were found lying trapped inside the vehicle.
"Midvaal Fire Services had to use specialised rescue equipment to free the entrapped men from the vehicle. Once freed, medics assessed the men and found that two had sustained moderate injuries while the third man had sustained serious injuries.
All three are recovering in hospital.
"Local authorities were on the scene for further investigations," Meiring adds.
