Truck and car collide, leaving one dead three injured

VAAL MARINA.- A man was killed and three others injured, including two children, when their bakkie and a truck collided on the R54, approximately 20km outside Vaal Marina.

On Monday ER24 arrived at 18h35 to find the Free State EMS already in attendance.
“A large truck was seen on the side of the road with a bakkie smashed partially beneath the front,” ER24 said in statement.
“On closer inspection, medics found a man lying trapped inside the bakkie.”

“Unfortunately, the man had already succumbed to numerous injuries and was declared dead.
The Free State EMS assessed three other patients from the bakkie. A woman and an 11-year-old boy were in critical condition, while a 7-year-old boy had sustained moderate injuries.”
The patients were treated and thereafter transported to nearby hospitals for urgent care.
Local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.”
