Two people have died and three were injured after two separate crashes in Secunda on Saturday.
According to paramedics, four people travelling in a light motor vehicle were found lying inside the car at about 11:35 on Saturday.
ER24 paramedics spokesperson Russel Meiring said the vehicle had been found smashed into the front of a truck on the side of Charlie 5 Road in Secunda.
“Medics assessed the patients and found that two men had sustained fatal injuries in the collision. Nothing could be done for them, and they were declared dead,” he said.
A woman was found with several injuries and in a critical condition, while a man escaped with minor injuries.
They were treated for their injuries, and the woman was given advanced life support before being taken to a nearby hospital.
