Multi-vehicle collision on Oos Street, Vryheid

Last night on Oos street on Vryheid, three vehicles were involved in a serious collision.

KwaZulu Private Ambulance responded to the scene, and within minutes medical teams assessed the scene and found that one patient was trapped in their vehicle, and had sustained serious injuries involving broken bones and head injuries. 

Using specialised rescue tools, medical staff worked to free the patient from the wreckage and stabilize them. Once stabilized, the patient was transported to a nearby hospital for further care. During this time the road was closed for an hour and a half.

According to witnesses, a car was collided into from the back by a combi, causing the car to go into oncoming traffic,  colliding into a bakkie.

SAPS are investigating the cause of the collision.
