When medics arrived on scene, they found that one person, an adult male, trapped in the front cab of one of the trucks.

Another patient, an adult male, was found trapped inside a car.

Multiple other patients were found across the scene.

All the patients were treated on scene by advanced life support paramedics, while fire and rescue services used hydraulic tools to free the two trapped patients.

Two other patients were airlifted to the hospital by Netcare 911 helicopter.

Once treated and stabilised, the two other patients were transported by ground ambulance to hospital for further care.
