Four people were killed and another critically injured on Saturday afternoon following a head-on collision on the R25 near Bronkhorstspruit.
ER24 paramedics, along with the provincial services, arrived on the scene shortly after 4pm to find one light motor vehicle in the emergency lane while another was found on the side of the road.
Both vehicles had burst into flames and were well alight, Russel Meiring of ER24 said.
Fire services began to fight the fire and extinguished the blaze. Upon closer inspection, paramedics discovered three bodies in the one vehicle while another body was found in the second vehicle.
On further inspection, paramedics found a woman, believed to be in her 40s, lying outside the vehicle. Assessments showed that the woman had sustained numerous injuries and was in a critical condition, Meiring said.
Paramedics treated the woman and provided her with advanced life support interventions before she was airlifted by the ER24 Oneplan Helicopter to Sunshine hospital.
