Katherine Drive Closed

Katherine Drive was closed this evening during peak hour when an Opel GSI and a Hyundai Getz collided with each other near Westbrooke Place in Sandton.

Paramedics that arrived on the scene found two men outside of their vehicle. Near the overturned Opel a man was lying in the road with serious injuries and another near the Hyundai Getz. It is understood that the overturned Opel had three male occupants inside of it at the time of the crash and the Hyundai had two occupants.

Only two people have sustained serious injuries and three other were treated on the scene for minor injuries. Two of the occupants were transported by Netcare to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

The cause of the accident is not known and will be investigated. The driver of the overturned Corsa was too shocked on the scene to explain the cause of the accident and paramedics attended to him.

Katherine Drive was scattered with debris and the Johannesburg Fire Department closed off the whole road for safety reasons.

No other vehicles were involved.
