A woman was killed and three other occupants of a vehicle sustained several injuries when the vehicle they were traveling in overturned on Wedela Road in Carletonville this morning.

“At approximately 5.30am paramedics arrived on the scene where they found a vehicle lying on its roof. Three occupants, a woman and two men, were found with moderate injuries on the scene,” ER24 spokesperson Werner Vermaak said.

Vermaak said they were treated and later transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

A woman, believed to be in her twenties, was found a few meters away from the vehicle. She sustained fatal injuries and there was nothing that paramedics could do for her.

“She was declared dead on the scene. It is believed she was ejected from the vehicle during the rollover,” Vermaak said.

The exact cause of the incident is not yet known. Local authorities attended the incident and will conduct an investigation.
