One killed‚ four other injured in in accident on R114

A woman was killed and four other people critically injured early on Saturday morning when a light motor vehicle rolled off the R114 between Beyers Naude and Malibongwe in Muldersdrift west of Johannesburg‚ paramedics said.

ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene and found the light motor vehicle lying upright some distance off the main road. Two men and two women were found lying outside a short distance away from the vehicle‚ while a fifth woman was found inside the vehicle‚ ER24 spokesman Russel Meiring said.

“On assessment‚ paramedics found that one woman‚ lying outside the vehicle‚ had sustained numerous‚ fatal injuries. Unfortunately‚ nothing could be done for the patient and she was declared dead.

“The our other patients were assessed and found to be in a critical condition‚” Meiring said.

“Paramedics began their treatment and initiated advanced life support interventions before the patients were transported to Leratong Provincial Hospital for further treatment.”

It was understood that the driver lost control of the vehicle‚ causing it to roll multiple times‚ Meiring said.
