Two killed in north vehicle collision
“The circumstances surrounding this accident remain unclear and will form part of a police investigation.”
Two people were killed when a bakkie and light motor vehicle collided at the corner of President Steyn and Ben Viljoen streets in Pretoria North on Monday evening.
“The light motor vehicle came to a standstill against the wall of a residential block next to the road,” emergency medical service Promed said in a statement.
During an initial assessment at the scene, an elderly male was found to have succumbed to his injuries while still trapped inside the wreckage of the vehicle.
“Another adult male patient was found in the road, next to the wreckage, with no signs of life,” the statement said.
Advanced life support resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful due to the extent of the injuries he had sustained.
“An adult male patient was treated for moderate injuries on the scene before he was transported to a nearby facility for further treatment,” the statement said.
“The circumstances surrounding this accident remain unclear and will form part of a police investigation.”
