ELEVEN people were injured in a head-on-collision between two bakkies near the St Albans bridge at the Blue Horizon Bay off-ramp on the N2 yesterday.

The off-ramp was closed for about an hour in the morning while the EMS medical helicopter was called to assist with transporti­ng the injured to hospital.

Police spokesman Colonel Priscilla Naidu said a Telkom bakkie had taken the off-ramp and was turning right onto the bridge when it collided with a constructi­on vehicle.

“The constructi­on bakkie was transporti­ng 10 people, eight of whom were on the back,” Naidu said.

“The constructi­on bakkie rolled on impact.”

The driver of the constructi­on bakkie was the only person seriously injured.
