Four killed‚ one critical in N1 Kroonvaal crash

Four people were killed and one person sustained critical injuries in a head-on collision between two vehicles on the N1 approximately 3km before the Kroonvaal Toll Plaza in the Free State on Sunday afternoon.

Paramedics from ER24 arrived on the scene at about 1.30pm to find one vehicle standing in the middle of the highway. The other vehicle was found several metres off the road in a nearby veld‚ said ER24 spokesman Werner Vermaak.

 “One person was found with fatal injuries in the vehicle standing in the veld. Sadly‚ there was nothing that paramedics could do for him and he was declared dead on the scene. A critically injured occupant from the same vehicle was rushed to Parys Hospital by another private service.

“Three men were found with fatal injuries in the vehicle standing on the highway. There was nothing that paramedics could do for them and they were declared dead on the scene‚” Vermaak said.
