“The 22-year-old female was found partially entrapped in the wreck of the Polo, showing no signs of life. Unfortunately, nothing could be done for her and she was declared dead on arrival.
“The 30-year-old man and the adult female from the RAV4 were both found to have suffered minor injuries. The male patient was treated by ER24 and transported to Mediclinic Emfuleni for further care. The female was found still in the vehicle and was immobilised prior to being treated on scene and transported by the other private EMS service on scene, also to Mediclinic Emfuleni.”
In the earlier incident, a man believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s, was killed when he was knocked off his bicycle by a light motor vehicle on the R42, at Veld and Vlei outside Three Rivers.
“ER24 paramedics were on the scene at 8.03pm last night along with the provincial emergency medical services. The man was found lying prone in the street showing no signs of life. Unfortunately nothing could be done for him and he was declared dead on arrival. GPG assessed the driver of the vehicle — an adult male with unknown injuries.”
