Johannesburg - Three people were killed on Tuesday, when a bakkie they were
travelling in rolled numerous times on the M13 in Johannesburg, paramedics
said.
ER 24 spokesperson Derrick Banks said the bakkie lost control and rolled
numerous times before coming to a halt at 08:30 on Tuesday.
"Emergency personnel arrived on the scene and found the bakkie with the
occupants strewn across the road," Banks said.
"Paramedics assessed the patients and found that three people had
already succumbed to their injuries and were declared deceased on scene."
Another person sustained very serious and traumatic injuries and had to be
airlifted to hospital.
One more person was rushed to hospital with suspected neck and back
injuries, multiple cuts and abrasions, he added.
"It is unclear what caused the driver to lose control of his vehicle
but the necessary authorities were on the scene and would investigate the
accident further," said Banks.
