A three-year-old was the youngest road carnage victim at the weekend, when she died in a car crash in Durbanville on Saturday.
Provincial traffic chief Kenny Africa said there were seven road fatalities at the weekend, of which two were pedestrians.
“(On Sunday evening) about 10pm at the R304 and R312 crossing near Durbanville, two vehicles were involved in an accident. A three-year-old girl lost her life in this accident. Seven other passengers were left slightly injured.
“It is alleged one of the motorists disobeyed a stop sign and collided with another vehicle,” Africa said.
ER24 spokesperson said on Sunday afternoon 15 people were injured when two light motor vehicles and a bakkie collided on the N2 between Grabouw and Caledon.
“An ER24 paramedic was driving down the road when the incident occurred.
"The paramedic immediately called ER24 and Metro Rescue for additional resources.
One light motor vehicle had come to rest lying on its side while the bakkie and light motor vehicle were found in the road,” Meiring said.
Meiring said before paramedics arrived on scene, bystanders pushed the overturned light motor vehicle back onto its wheels and extricated one of the patients, a young boy.
“When paramedics arrived on the scene, they assessed the patients and found a total of 15 sustained injuries ranging from minor to critical. One of the patients lay trapped inside the light motor vehicle.
"Metro rescue services had to use specialised rescue tools to free the patient from the vehicle,” Meiring said.
Once freed, paramedics treated the patients and provided the critically injured with advanced life support.
Breath testing was also performed on 2 096 drivers at 26 alcohol blitz roadblocks across the province.
“The highest breath alcohol reading was recorded in the Caledon service area. At 1,10 mg of alcohol/ 1000ml of breath, this is over four times the legal limit of 0,24 mg/ 1000ml,” Africa said.
