Man killed in N1 Maraisburg crash
A man was killed and another injured in a head-on collision on the N1 in Maraisburg, Roodepoort, Johannesburg, on Monday, paramedics said.
Netcare 911 spokeswoman Santi Steinmann said two cars collided head-on and one burst into flames.
"Upon assessment of the occupants they [paramedics] found that one man tragically lost his life during the crash and was entrapped in the vehicle. The fire department had to make use of the jaws of life to extricate the man from the vehicle."
He said the driver of the vehicle that burst into flames was found to have sustained moderate to serious injuries. He was transported to hospital.
