ER24 spokesman Pieter Botha said when paramedics arrived on the scene they found that both occupants of the car had sustained fatal injuries. The driver of the bakkie was also killed and the front passenger of the bakkie sustained critical injuries.
“The critically injured patient was airlifted to Rob Ferreira Hospital for urgent medical treatment. The remaining patients were allegedly on the back of the bakkie,” he said.
They all sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate. ER24 treated and transported two patients to Rob Ferreira Hospital. The remaining patients were treated and transported to hospital by other medical services on the scene.
The cause of the collision was unknown. Local authorities were on the scene for further investigation and the road where the collision occurred was still closed for investigations, Rossouw said.
