A woman was killed and two men sustained serious injuries when their vehicle crashed into the side of a truck at the N12 and R28 intersection in Westonaria on Wednesday night.

“An ambulance crew from ER24 was on their way to a Johannesburg hospital when they came across the collision. They immediately pulled over and called for further assistance,” said Werner Vermaak, ER24 spokesperson.

Upon assessment they found that a woman in the vehicle showed no signs of life. There was nothing that they could do for her and she was declared dead. Two men were also found in the vehicle with various injuries.

“Once stabilised on scene they were rushed off to Carletonville and Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospitals respectively.”

The exact cause of the collision is not yet known. Local authorities attended the scene.
