A snarl up on the N1 north near the Botha Avenue off- ramp this afternoon left one person seriously injured.

Netcare spokesperson, Chris Botha said that the exact details to the cause of the accident and preceding events will remain a subject for police investigation and comment.

“Netcare 911 paramedics and the fire services arrived at the scene at around 4pm and found the highway littered with accident debris and the twisted frames of the vehicles. One person was still trapped in the twisted frame of his vehicle. Miraculously the occupants of the other three vehicles escaped uninjured,” Botha said.

He said that while firemen used the Jaws of Life to free the seriously wounded man medics clambered into the vehicle to stabilise him. Botha said that after he was extricated and immobilised on a trauma board, they transported him to a local hospital for the care that he required.
