Johannesburg - One person died and five others were injured in a collision between two cars on the R40 Hilltop, just outside Nelspruit, on Friday, ER24 reported.

“ It is understood the vehicles collided head on,” ER24 said. “When ER24 paramedics and other services arrived on scene they found one person entrapped in one of the vehicles. Fire and Rescue Services extricated the person, a man believed to be in his 40’s, who was trapped. Unfortunately there was nothing paramedics could do for him. He was declared dead.

“All other patients were assessed and it was found that two patients, women, sustained moderate injuries and three patients, men, sustained minor injuries.”

The injured were treated and transported to hospital for further treatment. Authorities were on scene for further investigations.
