A bakkie carrying Twenty Five people has over turned on the R56 just outside Kokstad in the direction of Swartberg this morning.
EMRS and Res Q Med arrived on the scene to find the bakkie lying on its side with the canopy still connected but severely damaged. Emergency personnel were shocked to find that the bakkie was carrying twenty five people at the time of the accident. Four people were treated for serious injuries and another four were treated for minor to moderate injuries. They were stabilised on the scene and transported to a nearby hospital for further medical treatment. Paramedics were surprised that no one else was injured after the vehicle was so over loaded.
The bakkie was travelling along the R56 just outside Kokstad when it is believed that the vehicle started to have mechanical problems. The driver of the bakkie lost control and rolled the vehicle. It is also alleged that the driver ran away from the scene after the accident occurred.
RTI will be investigating the accident and why the vehicle was so over loaded.
