Each vehicle had only the driver and no passengers were in either vehicle.
One driver was stabilised and transported via ambulance to hospital by ER24.
Another driver was trapped in the wreckage of his vehicle and emergency services had to force their way into the vehicle.
The man was subsequently stabilised but is in a critical condition.
A Netcare 911 emergency helicopter landed at the scene and then transported the critical patient to hospital.
The portion of CR Swart between Anita Street and Rosemary Lane has been closed off while emergency services clear the scene.
