A father and his three-year-old son died in a head-on collision on the N14 in Kuruman, Northern Cape on Monday evening.
According to Emer-G-med spokesperson Kyle van Reenen the head-on collision happened around 22:00.
“Upon arrival at the scene, paramedics found a light motor vehicle and a light delivery vehicle collided head-on.”
“A male driver approximately forty years of age and his three-year-old son sustained fatal injuries.
Van Reenen said.
When paramedics arrived at the scene, they declared the father and son dead.
The driver of the light delivery vehicle suffered moderate injuries. The man was treated and stabilized on the scene before he was taken to a hospital.
The accident forms part of police investigations.
Meanwhile, recently a three-year-old boy was airlifted to hospital after a taxi collision in Johannesburg.
The crash happened on the N3 near the M1 interchange.
When paramedics arrived at the scene they found a Toyota HiAce had crashed into the concrete upright support of the overhead bridge.
“A three-year-old boy suffered serious injuries and was in a critical condition.
Before the boy was airlifted to the hospital, several advanced life support interventions were performed to stabilise him.
Van Reenen said.
Several commuters sustained moderate injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment.
