One man has sustained some injuries earlier this morning when the vehicle he was traveling in collided with a truck on Prince George drive.
The cause of the collision is still unknown, but a truck transporting a cargo of gravel had allegedly veered out of control before jack-knifing and overturning onto its side. The collision had resulted in tons of gravel being strewn onto the intersection. A vehicle had then collided into the truck.
When ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene they found a single driver still in the vehicle. The man was carefully extricated from the vehicle and immobilised onto a special board. The patient then received treatment for severe facial trauma and a suspected back and neck injury. He was later transported to Mediclinic Constantiaberg for further medical care.
Local law enforcement authorities who attended the scene will be investigating the incident further.
