Two critical, one killed in Alberton collision
Two people sustained critical injuries and another person was killed when two vehicles collided with each other near the Kliprivier and Swartkoppies intersection in Alberton last night.
Shortly before 11pm, paramedics from ER24 arrived on the scene and found that bystanders pulled the driver out from one of the vehicles. He was in a critical condition. He was treated on the scene and later rushed to Mulbarton Hospital for further care.
A woman was also found with various injuries. She was still trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated. Once freed, she was rushed to Union Hospital.
A 19-year-old woman was also found with critical injuries. While paramedics were attending to her, her condition deteriorated and she showed no signs of life. Paramedics attempted to revive her for some time. Sadly, she succumbed to her injuries on scene and was later declared dead.
Local authorities attended the scene and will investigate.
