10 people sustained various injuries after two vehicles collided head-on, on the R103 near lion park this afternoon.
The cause of the collision is unknown at this stage, but the two vehicles, a bakkie and a car had allegedly collided head-on at speed. The vehicles then proceeded to leave the road and overturn down an embankment.

All of the patients were then transported from the scene to various hospitals in the surrounding area in various ambulances. Local law enforcement officials who attended the scene will be investigating the incident further.
