14th Avenue Strikes Again
The notorious 14th avenue claimed yet again a serious accident this morning.
This morning at approximately 07h05 a bakkie carrying four occupants overturned on the N1 just before the 14th Avenue off ramp. It appeared that the vehicle was travelling on the N1 when it overturned several times.
The white bakkie came to a stand still on its side in the middle island of the highway. Some of the patients were found outside the vehicle.
The driver of the bakkie was entrapped in the vehicle and Florida Park Fire Station had to use the jaws-of-life to extricate the trapped man.
Paramedics from Netcare stabilized the driver and transported him to the Baragwanath Hospital. The other patients were transported by ER24 and Provincial EMS.
The traffic was affected in a northern direction and backed up all the way to Gordon road. At this stage it is not clear where the occupants were travelling to when the incident occurred.
