A man in his forties tragically died in an accident on the N4 near the Solomon Mahlangu Drive in Pretoria this afternoon at around 16h30. A report from the scene indicates that the vehicle veered violently off the road and smashed into the barriers with such force that the engine was ripped from the car.
Netcare 911 paramedics arrived at the scene and found the roadway obstructed with accident debris and the twisted frame of the vehicle that came to rest on its roof, the driver was ejected from the wreckage and landed on the other side of the barriers on the verge. Tragically, it was found that the man died before our arrival.
Exact detail to the cause of the accident and preceding events however will remain a subject for police investigation and comment.
