Four people were injured during an accident on the N12 approximately thirty-five kilometres from Potchefstroom on Friday.

Netcare 911 spokesperson Santi Steinmann said paramedics and other services arrived at the scene and found that a utility vehicle with a trailer had overturned several times and came to a standstill back on its wheels.

“Exact detail surrounding the cause of the rollover accident and preceding events are still unclear and will remain the subject of a police investigation.

“However, reports from the scene indicate that the vehicle swerved to avoid another vehicle when the accident occurred,” Steinmann said.

Upon assessment of the occupants, paramedics found that four people sustained serious injuries during the rollover accident.

The injured patients were treated at the scene and transported to hospital for further medical care.
