On Wednesday around noon, a bakkie reportedly lost control on the slipway into OR Tambo Street from the N11, overturned, and struck a stationary car, three sibling minors and a 34-year-old man.
A 5-year-old boy reportedly sustained severe injuries, including a fractured arm, while his 12-year-old brother and 17-year-old sister had less severe injuries. The 34-year-old man, who was reportedly repairing tyres on the corner, also sustained injuries when the bakkie crashed into a car being serviced. The driver of the bakkie was unharmed.
ER24 transported all injured individuals to the hospital for medical care. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the accident.
