Five Injured in Crash Between Security Van & Bakkie in Vanderbijlpark

Five people have been injured in a collision between a security van and a bakkie in Vanderbijlpark.

Paramedics say on arrival at the scene on Saturday, they found the driver of the bakkie, a 24-year-old man, lying in the road.

ER24’s Ross Campbell said two children aged between 3 or 4 had been removed from the vehicle.

“The man had suffered critical injuries and required Advanced Life Support interventions to stabilise his condition. He was flown by another private service’s medical helicopter to a private hospital for further emergency care. The two children, a boy and a girl, had suffered serious injuries and also required ALS care before being transported to Mediclinic Emfuleni for further treatment.”

Campbell said two security guards from the van suffered minor injuries and were also transported to hospital for further care.

Local authorities were on scene for further investigations.
