Four people have been seriously injured after a silver BMW and a Telkom Van collided on the corners of Rosetta and Mitchell Streets in Tshwane this evening.
According to bystanders the two vehicles collided with force in the intersection and the Telkom
Van overturned. The overturned vehicle came to a stand still on its passenger side barely missing parked vehicles in Rosetta Street.
The male driver of the BMW explained that he was travelling in Rosetta Street when the accident occurred. The Telkom Van was travelling on Mitchell Street in the direction of Laudium. The male Telkom employee - believed to be in his 30's - said he was travelling on Mitchell Street on his way home.
The driver and his wife from the BMW was found outside of the vehicle lying in the road when paramedics arrived. A rear passenger in the BMW sustained serious injuries and had to be rescued by the Tshwane Emergency Services from the wreck using the Jaws-of-Life. The roof and driver doors of the BMW had to be cut off to rescue the trapped victim.
The occupant of the Telkom Van climbed out of the vehicle just before paramedics arrived.
All of the patients were stabilised on scene and transported in a stable condition to nearby hospitals. All of them sustained head, chest and limb trauma. Metro Police and SAPS attended to the scene.
