ER24 spokesperson, Russel Meiring, confirms there were no other passengers in both vehicles, the drivers were the only occupants. The deceased was found lying inside the one vehicle. Meiring says when emergency medical personnel arrived on the scene they found that she had been badly injured in the accident and “showed no signs of life”. The motorist in the second vehicle – a man – survived the collision and received medical care on the scene before being taken to a hospital.

“A second patient, a man, was found being treated by the Free State EMS for his numerous injuries. The man was provided with advanced life support interventions before he was airlifted by a private medical helicopter to a private hospital for further treatment. Local authorities were on the scene for further investigations,” says Meiring

OFM News reported previously that the Chief Director of Traffic Management in the Free State, Nako Ramotsoto, says they have noticed that a large number of accidents on roads in the province have been head-on-collisions which are caused primarily by overtaking on solid barrier lines where the road is obscured and motorists cannot see oncoming traffic properly.
