Klerksdorp- One man was killed and four others critically injured last night when a vehicle rolled on the N12 15 kilometres outside of Klerksdorp, North West Province.

When ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene, they found the wrecked bakkie lying on its roof, 50 metres away from the road.

“It appeared that the five occupants of the bakkie had been ejected after the vehicle rolled multiple times.
On assessment of the patients, paramedics found that one of the men, a male in his 30s, had already succumbed to his severe injuries” Er24 spokesperson Russel Meiring said.

The four other patients lay around the bakkie and were in a critical condition.

Paramedics treated the patients, providing them with advanced life support where they were thereafter transported to nearby hospitals, including Mediclinic Potchefstroom hospital, for further treatment.

The cause of the collision is not yet known but local authorities were on scene for further information.
