Woman Trapped after Crash

A woman had to be rescued from her wrecked vehicle this afternoon after her red Opel Kadett and a white Isuzu delivery vehicle collided in the intersection of South Way and Marlboro Drive.

When paramedics arrived on scene, the woman believed to be in her 50's was still trapped in her vehicle complaining of excruciating pain. It appears that the Isuzu bakkie collided on the driver's side of her vehicle. Paramedics stabilized the woman on scene who sustained multiple injuries. After being rescued from the wreck she was rushed off to the Johannesburg General Hospital.

The Isuzu bakkie overturned and came to a standstill on the passenger side of the bakkie. The male (50) driver of the bakkie climbed out of his overturned vehicle before paramedics arrived on scene. He sustained chest injuries and was transported to the Alexandra Clinic for further medical management.

It is not clear who was at fault and how the accident was caused. There were no bystanders available for comment. It is also not clear if the delivery van was on its way to make a delivery. The driver could not comment at the time.

Metro Police and the Fire Brigade attended to the scene. The Fire Brigade assisted the paramedics with the rescue of the trapped woman.
