“Paramedics attended to four patients at the scene – three males and a female. Two of them were police officers,” said Dollman.
One male patient sustained very serious injuries and was attended to by Advanced Life Support paramedics. Due to the nature of his injuries and the rural location of the incident, the Netcare 911 specialised helicopter ambulance was called to the scene to airlift him to a Johannesburg trauma unit for the urgent care he required.
The three other patients sustained moderate injuries and were stabilised at the scene before being transported by ambulances to hospital for further assessment and care.
The cause of the accident is subject to further investigation.
