Two men were injured this afternoon following a cash-in-transit heist on Zuurfontein Road near the Spartan intersection in Kempton Park.
ER24 paramedics, along with other services, arrived on the scene to find the bakkie lying on the side of the road. The two security guards were found lying 50 metres away in the veld.
Paramedics assessed both men and found that one had sustained a gunshot wound to his arm while the other had sustained numerous gunshot wounds to his legs, leaving him in a serious condition.
Paramedics treated the patients and provided the seriously injured man with advanced life support interventions. Once treated, the men were transported to Arwyp Hospital for further treatment.
It is understood that an unknown number of men had opened fire on the vehicle, causing it to roll multiple times.
Local authorities were on the scene and will be investigating this matter further.
