[Rynfield, Benoni 25 November 2011 14:30]
What appears to have been a head on collision at the corners of Pretoria and Malherbe Streets in Rynfield in Benoni has left an elderly woman with fatal injuries.
Paramedics arrived at the scene to find that the elderly woman was trapped in her seat in the Toyota Corolla, having suffered such severe injuries during the collision, that there was nothing further that could be done for her and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband, who had been driving the car, was able to get out of the drivers side, and was immobilised onto a back support board before being taken to hospital by ambulance. He was in a stable condition throughout.
The man driving the VW sedan was not physically injured and he refused further treatment from paramedics. He would be removed from the scene using private transport.
The cause of the fatal collision is not know, but police who attended the scene would investigate.
