One dead, two hurt in head-on collision

A MAN was killed and two other people were injured in a head-on collision between a car and a front-end loader at the Main Reef and Denver roads intersection in the Johannesburg CBD on Saturday night, paramedics said.

ER24 paramedics, along with other services, arrived on the scene to find the front-end loader and car in the middle of the road. Debris from the car was found spread across the scene, ER24 spokesman Russel Meiring said yesterday.

He added: “Paramedics found the body of a man lying trapped inside the vehicle. Unfortunately, the man had already succumbed to his injuries ... and he was later declared dead.”

Two other people were treated and then transported to nearby hospitals for further treatment, Meiring said. |
