Just after 7am this morning Rescue Care paramedics were called to 286 Balfour Road in Wentworth for a serious collision.
On arrival paramedics found that a vehicle had collided into the back of a truck. Paramedics found a male passenger entrapped in the wreckage. They quickly assessed him however he had sustained fatal injuries and passed away before paramedics arrival. The driver was found on the side of the road and he had sustained possible spinal injuries. The patient was placed on a specialized board to prevent further movement and was then transported by Rescue Care to St Augustine’s Hospital for further care that he required.
It is unclear what caused the vehicle to collided into the back of the truck however SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further.
Balfour Road was closed in both directions whilst emergency personal worked to clear the scene.
