A elderly couple has been killed after the vehicle they were driving in collided with a trailer on the R57 just outside Sasolburg this afternoon.
ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene to find a trailer in the middle of the road and the light motor vehicle close to it. Paramedics approached the car to find the couple entrapped and had suffered massive trauma. Both husband and wife were declared deceased on the scene due to the fatal injuries they had sustained. Sasolburg Fire Department used the Jaws of Life to extricate the couple from the vehicle.
It is believed the couple were on their way to visit family in the Vaal Triangle when a Land Drover pulling the trailer with road work equipment on the back came out of a small side road, the couple could not stop in time and collided into the side of the trailer.
The necessary authorities will be investigating the accident.
