Pretoria – At least four people were killed in a horrific accident on the N1 North in East Lynne, Pretoria, when a black Land Rover vehicle, laden with 15 people, crashed and rolled off the busy road.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Shawn Herbst said the driver apparently lost control of the powerful SUV, and the passengers, who included small children, were ejected from the vehicle during the crash before it landed on a property near the freeway. “At 10.27 on Sunday morning, Netcare 911 responded to a collision on the N1 North in East Lynne, Pretoria. Reports indicate that the driver of an SUV lost control, resulting in a roll over down an embankment, ejecting passengers in the process,” he said.
Other emergency services, including the City of Tshwane’s fire and rescue services, the South African Police Service, the Tshwane Metro Police Department, also responded to the scene. “Medics assessed the scene and found that the vehicle had come to rest in a neighbouring property, with a staggering fifteen occupants scattered across the scene. On closer inspection, four occupants had sustained fatal injuries and were declared deceased on the scene,” said Herbst.
