Four people were killed when the car they were travelling in smashed into a truck trailer that had allegedly become detached from the truck on the R59 in Vaalpark in Sasolburg, Free State.

Johannesburg – Four people were killed and another was seriously injured and airlifted to hospital in two separate road accidents in the Free State and in Gauteng on Friday, paramedics said.

When ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene shortly after 4pm, they found a vehicle lying on its side on the side of the road and a trailer also off the road on the side. The exact circumstances surrounding the accident were not known to ER24 paramedics, but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations, Van Huyssteen said.

ER24 paramedics were flagged down by a passing motorist shortly after 3pm. Upon their arrival at the scene of the accident, multiple vehicle towing services were already there.
