ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson said paramedics arrived at the scene to find that the driver lost control, and the car collided with concrete barriers before lifting into the sky and coming to rest on its nose against a roadworks structure.

“Paramedics quickly assessed the scene and found that one person, a male believed to be approximately 30 years of age, had sustained major injuries, and there was nothing anyone could do for him, and he was declared deceased at the scene.”

Two other occupants had sustained serious injuries, and they were stabilised at the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital.

At this stage, the events leading up to the collision are unknown, however, SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating.
