Two vehicles collided on Voortrekker street in Mayville, Pretoria, leaving two men deceased and another with very critical injuries.
A vehicle travelling on Voortrekker road allegedly crossed through an intersection and collided into a red hatch back. The hatch was then split in two due to the sheer force of the imapct, and one of the occupants was killed. The second occupant needed immediate Advanced Life Support treatment as he had sustained multiple and severe injuries.
The initial car is then believed to have crashed into the robots and after further spinning out of control, crashed into a roadside lamp post. The lamp post then burst into flames, which within seconds engulfed the car. The driver was still inside the vehicle.
Despite efforts by Fire and Rescue workers to extinguish the blaze, the man was deceased inside his vehicle. It is at this stage unclear as to whether he was killed in the accident, or whether the fire may have caused his death.
All three occupants of the two vehicles were estimated to have been between the ages of 20 and 30.
Exact details surrounding this terrible accident will need to be investigated by the necessary officials.
