[KRUGERSDORP] Three die in vehicle collision fire

Three people have died following a head-on collision between two light motor vehicles, one of which flipped and burst into flames. The incident happened on Windsor Road in Krugersdorp this evening and all three who perished were from the vehicle which burst into flames. The driver of the second vehicle, a 39-year-old male, was pulled from his car by bystanders before it too caught fire.

The man who survived was found to have suffered moderate injuries and was treated and transported with our Advanced Life Support paramedic in another private services’ ambulance to Leratong Hospital for further care.

The South African Police Service as well as the Metro Police were on the scene for further investigations.
