Vrou en motorfietsryer sterf in botsing
Twee mense het vroeër vandag (17 Julie 2019) na ‘n botsing tussen ‘n motorfiets en ‘n voertuig op die R82 in Vereeniging gesterf.
Me. Ineke van Huyssteen, ‘n ER24-woordvoerder, berig dat paramedici kort na 17:00 vanmiddag op die toneel aangekom het, waar hulle ‘n manlike motorfietsryer op die grond aangetref het. Hy het bewegingloos naby sy motorfiets gelê. Ongelukkig kon niks meer vir hom gedoen word nie en hy is op die toneel dood verklaar.
Intussen is ‘n vrou met kritieke beserings aangetref in die voertuig wat ook in die botsing betrokke was. Paramedici het dadelik gevorderde lewensondersteunende behandeling toegepas, maar ongelukkig het sy ook aan haar veelvuldige beserings beswyk.
Die presiese omstandighede rondom die ongeluk is nog nie bekend nie, maar die polisie was op die toneel vir verdere ondersoek.
