[POTCHEFSTROOM, NW, 1 November 2012, 09:45]
Three people were fortunate to have sustained minor injuries only after a truck and a sedan collided on the R501 outside Potchefstroom.
The events leading up to the collision is unclear, but the passenger vehicle had collided into the side of the truck causing both vehicles to leave the road to the right. The passenger vehicle then overturned onto its right hand side causing the truck to land on top of it.
When ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene they could see that the collision was severe. Remarkably all three of the occupants involved in the collision sustained minor injuries only. The driver of the truck and the driver of the passenger vehicle and a single passenger from the sedan received treatment at the scene before being transported to Mediclinic Potchefstroom for further treatment.
Traffic officials attended the scene and will be investigating the cause of the collision further.
