Two people sustained fatal injuries while four others sustained serious injuries in a two-vehicle collision on the R28 in Westonaria late on Christmas Day, 25 December.

Ineke van Huyssteen, ER24 spokesperson said when paramedics arrived at the scene shortly after 11.30pm, the provincial EMS were already in attendance.

Upon further assessment, paramedics found two people who had sustained fatal injuries. Unfortunately, nothing could be done for them and they were declared dead at the scene. Four others were found to have sustained serious injuries. They were treated at the scene before being transported to hospital by ER24 and GPG.

“Three other patients were found walking around at the scene, but they declined to be transported to hospital.”

She added the exact circumstances surrounding the incident is not known to our paramedics, but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
