Car Vs. Truck
At least one person is in a critical condition after a red Mazda 323 collided with the back of a low-bed truck.
According to a bystander on the scene, both vehicles were travelling south on the N1 before the Gordon Road off ramp when the accident occurred.
Paramedics were alerted about the serious accident just after six this morning.
When medics arrived on the scene, they found the driver of the Mazda slammed forward behind the steering wheel of the car. The driver was barely breathing and rescue personnel had to use rapid extrication to remove the driver from the vehicle in order to save his life.
Advanced Life Support manoeuvres had to be implemented. The driver was rushed off to the Life Flora Clinic where specialized treatment will be administered.
The Johannesburg's Metro Police Department will be investigating this accident. No one in the truck was injured.
It is believed that the driver of the Mazda was on his way to work in Alberton when the crash occurred.
