Lady Killed in Truck Smash

A 21 year old lady was killed this evening in a horror crash in Wilgeheuwel on the West Rand.

ER24 EMS paramedics that arrived first on the scene found a white Opel Corsa mangled next to a 26-wheeler truck on Hendrik Potgieter drive. Paramedics quickly noticed the young lady trapped behind the steering wheel of the mangled Corsa.

She sustained multiple and fatal injuries. Paramedics tried everything possible to regain any life sign, but were unable to do so due to the extent of her injuries.

It is understood that the lady was on her way home in Florida Glen after visiting her brother in Wilgeheuwel. It is only known that her vehicle and a truck collided with each other on Hendrik Potgieter drive.

The cause for the accident is not yet known and will be investigated by the Johannesburg Metro Police Department. The Johannesburg Fire Department had to use the Jaws of Life to free her body from the wreck.

The area was closed off for the duration. Family members attended the scene.

No one else was injured in this accident.
