Twenty Three Injured After Bakkie Rolls

An accident occurred on the N14 at the N1 leaving twenty three people injured.

A Hyundai Light Duty Vehicle allegedly had a tire blow-out causing it to roll. The twenty three occupants, some of which were in the back inside the closed canopy, sustained moderate to minor injuries.

ER24 paramedics arrived on scene to find all of the patients outside of the vehicle, some of them had been ejected, as the canopy came off just before the vehicle came to a rest.

The patients were all stabilised on scene before being transported by various emergency services to local provincial hospitals.

No other vehicles were reported to be involved in the accident.

Traffic was severely affected on the south bound carriageway as the right hand lane had been closed while paramedics were attending to patients.
