One man was killed and three others injured on Monday morning after a multiple vehicle collision on the N4 near Cullinan‚ north of Pretoria.

ER24 paramedics‚ along with Tshwane Metro Services‚ arrived on the scene and found most of the highway blocked due to the vehicles lying on both sides of the highway.

According to paramedics‚ a car collided with a stationary bakkie in the emergency lane‚ which caused the light motor vehicle to veer into the opposite highway and collide with a further two vehicles.

The lifeless body of the male driver was found inside his vehicle. He was declared dead on the scene.

Paramedics assessed the drivers of the other light motor vehicle and the bakkie‚ and found that they had sustained minor to moderate injuries.

The patients were treated before being transported by ER24 and Tshwane Metro Services to nearby hospitals for further treatment.

Local authorities were on scene to investigate the exact cause of the collision.
