Fourways claims Four in Chaos Crash

An eyewitness explained yesterday afternoon how he saw his life flashing in front of him whilst he was traveling on William Nichol before the Lone hill Boulevard. According to the eyewitness a white Mercedes Benz veered off the road and suddenly swerved into oncoming traffic.

The white Mercedes plowed into a Silver Mercedes SUV and sent both vehicle spinning off into two more vehicle, a Toyota Prado and a BMW Sport Vehicle.

The 20 year old driver of the Mercedes sustained massive head injuries and received Advanced Life Support Procedures on scene to save his life. He was then transported per ambulance in a critical condition to the Johannesburg General Hospital. Four more people were injured in this collision, a husband and wife in the Prado, a gentleman in the BMW and a Lady in the Mercedes SUV.

The driver of the Mercedes SUV and White Mercedes had to be rescued from their vehicles by the Fire Department with their Jaws-of-Life.

It is unclear at this stage why the Mercedes swerved or for what he swerved. Traffic was blocked off completely in the Fourways direction and some vehicles had to make use of alternatives routes.

Metro Police attended to the scene.
