The death toll following an accident that claimed the lives of two people on the R721 between Vredefort and Kroonstad on Wednesday morning has now risen to three.
The Free State Emergency Medical Services (EMS) spokesperson, Sipho Towa, tells OFM News that the third person died just before departing from the scene in the morning.
On Wednesday, a Provincial Ambulance collided with a private light motor vehicle. The ambulance was transporting a patient from the Parys Hospital to the Boitumelo Hospital in Kroonstad.
This brings the number of people who perished on Free State roads this week to seven.
An accident yesterday on the R703 in Verkeerdevlei claimed four lives, after two minibus taxis collided head-on about 39 kilometres south-east of Brandfort in the Masilonyana municipality.
