A mother and her 14-year-old daughter were killed yesterday morning when their car smashed into another vehicle in Schoemansville, Hartbeespoortdam.

ER24 spokesperson, Vanessa Jackson, said paramedics arrived on the scene and found that the girl was already dead.

Her mother and eight-months-old sister, were in a critical condition. Her four-year- old brother sustained moderate injuries.

“Paramedics immediately began efforts to stabilise the two critically injured. The eight-months-old girl with suspected head injuries was airlifted to Unitas hospital in Pretoria.

As the second medical helicopter was being activated, the mother’s condition deteriorated to the point where paramedics had to initiate resuscitation efforts, but nothing more could be done to save her life. She died on the scene.” The four-year-old little boy and the woman who was driving the second vehicle were both transported by ambulance to a clinic in Brits.

Vanessa said they were both in a stable condition.

Meanwhile, Netcare 911 paramedics and other services responded to an accident on the R59 near Highbury.

Netcare 911 spokesperson, Santi Steinmann, said upon arrival they found that a vehicle had overturned.

“There were three occupants in the vehicle and one of them had sustained serious injuries. After being treated on the scene, they were both transported to nearby medical facilities for further medical care.”

The cause of the two accidents were not known but police were investigating.
