A collision between a bakkie and sedan occurred this morning on the N3, New England road. KwaZulu Private Ambulance Services were called to assist on the scene. 

Medical staff assessed the father and 5-year-old child and found they had sustained mild to moderate injuries, at that moment the patients did not want to go to hospital. After some time passed, KwaZulu Private Ambulance was called back to the scene as the 5-year-old had started to deteriorate, both the father and the child were treated and transported to hospital.

According to the father, the child was sitting in the back seat, and at the moment of impact the child was thrown into the front seat of the car.
