One person has died and two people were injured during an accident on the N1 south bound approximately forty kilometres from Bloemfontein this morning.
Netcare 911 paramedics and other services arrived at the scene and found that a minibus had left the roadway, overturned several times and came to a standstill next to the roadway back on its wheels.
Upon assessment of the three occupants, paramedics found that a man had tragically lost his life during the rollover accident. There was nothing that paramedics could do for the man and he was declared dead at the scene.
“One man was found to be in a critical condition and a medical helicopter was activated to airlift the critically injured man to hospital for the urgent medical care that he required,” Netcare spokesperson Santo Steinmann said.
A woman was found to have sustained serious injuries during the rollover accident and after receiving treatment at the scene, the injured woman was transported to hospital for further medical care.
Exact detail surrounding the cause of the rollover accident and preceding events are still unclear and will remain the subject of a police investigation.
