Two Killed in Noordheuwel Crash

Two women were killed and another seriously injured when their car allegedly overturned multiple times on the Hoffnaar Road in Noordheuwel this evening. It is believed that all three of the woman were travelling in the vehicle and thrown out out of the mangled wreck during the crash.

When paramedics arrived, one of the ladies was found next to the white Mazda 323 with major facial and head trauma. Paramedics had to act quickly to save her life. Another two were found somewhat 20 metres from the vehicle. The two women lying away from the wreck had sustained multiple serious injuries. Unfortunately there was nothing paramedics could do to save their lives. They have sustained massive body trauma.

The exact identities could not be established on the scene, but it is known that all of the women are in their late 20's and early 30's.

The families of the deceased could not be reached when paramedics were still on scene. It could not be determined who was the driver of the vehicle. One of the ladies might be a teacher at a local school, according to bystanders. School sporting equipment were found scattered on the scene as well as school books.

The seriously injured lady was transported to a nearby hospital for further medical treatment. The SAPS Collision Unit will investigate the accident to determine the exact cause.
