A man was killed and fourteen others injured this morning following a multiple vehicle collision at the President Fouche and Malibongwe Road intersection in Randburg.
ER24 paramedics, along with other services, arrived on the scene at 06h36 to find a taxi lying on its roof towards the side of the road. Six other vehicles were found scattered in the road.
Upon closer inspection, paramedics found two people lying inside the front of the taxi. Paramedics extricated the patients and assessed them. One man was found with numerous injuries and no signs of life. Unfortunately, nothing could be done for him and he was declared dead. The second patient was found to be in a serious condition. Thirteen other patients were assessed on the scene, their injuries ranging from minor to moderate.
