Berea policemen injured in crash

TWO Berea constables were taken to hospital earlier this morning after being involved in a crash in Morningside.

The crash occurred in Venice Road when another vehicle allegedly jumped a stop street and smashed into the police vehicle. Garrith Jamieson of Rescue Care said both policemen were in a stable condition in hospital. The SAPS vehicle was allegedly “written off” according a member of the public who said the officers had been on their way to call in Rapson Road when the crash occurred.

According to a police source, the driver of the vehicle was arrested. Motorists are urged to be vigilant and to drive carefully, especially in the wet weather.

Berea Mail wishes the two policemen a speedy recovery.
