One dead and one critical in N1 accident
“They were two passengers: one was declared dead on arrival, the other had severe injuries with a cracked skull."
A man died and another was taken to hospital following an accident on the N1 north near Garsfontein Road on Tuesday morning.
SVTA-LifeMed spokesperson Dean Slater confirmed that the accident happened around 10:00.
While the cause of the accident is unclear at this stage, it appears the vehicle had rolled.
Slater said on arrival paramedics found two passengers trapped in the wreckage.
“One person was declared dead by paramedics,” Slater said.
“The other was taken to a nearby hospital with severe injuries including a cracked skull.”
This is not the first accident to take place near Garsfontein Road recently.
Earlier this year a passenger sustained serious injuries after being ejected from his vehicle as it rolled.
