“ER24 paramedics, along with other emergency services, arrived on the scene at 1.33pm to find the two vehicles on the side of the road. One of the vehicles was well alight. “Medics found that one patient had been pulled from the burning vehicle by a motorist while a second patient had come from the second vehicle. Fire services began to extinguish the blaze while medics assessed the two patients, finding that they had sustained minor to moderate injuries.
“The two patients were treated and thereafter transported to nearby hospitals for further care,” he said.“Once the burning vehicle had been extinguished, medics found that four people had sustained numerous, fatal, burn wounds. Nothing could be done for them and they were declared dead,” said Meiring.
