The driver of a Toyota Tazz appears to have lost control of his vehicle as he was travelling in an easterly direction on the M13 between St Johns and Richmond road this afternoon.
His vehicle then crossed over the center median and collided with two other vehicles that were travelling west bound. Sadly the driver of the Tazz had suffered fatal injuries and there was no more that could be done to save his life. He was found trapped in the wreckage of his vehicle which had come to rest against the roadside embankment. The man is believed to have been aged around his late 20’s.
A woman who was travelling alone in her vehicle when the Tazz crashed into it, was found trapped in the drivers seat of her vehicle and she had suffered a broken arm as a result of the impact on her side of the vehicle. She was treated for her injuries and was transported to Hillcrest Private hospital under Advanced Life Support care.
Fortunately the occupants of the third vehicle that was hit suffered no injuries and they left the scene privately.
Investigations are underway as to what caused this fatal crash to occur.
