Two people were left in a critical condition when two vehicles collided head on with each other on the N12 outside Potchefstroom last night.

ER24 Werner Vermaak said the paramedics arrived on the scene where they found the wreckages of the two vehicles. 

“A 21-year-old man was found trapped inside of his vehicle. Fire
fighters from Fochville had to use the jaws of life to free the man from the wreckage. He sustained multiple fractures and several other injuries. Once freed, he was rushed to Medi-Clinic in Potchefstroom for further care.

“A woman in the other vehicle was also in a critical condition. She sustained multiple injuries. She was rushed to the same hospital by another ambulance service,” Werner said.

The exact cause for the collision is not yet known.
