Following a devastating accident earlier on Wednesday morning where one person lost his life in a taxi accident, another severe accident occurred later on Wednesday morning involving a black hatchback and a truck along the N2 near Camden Power Station, just outside Ermelo. The crash resulted in severe injuries to the driver of the car, while the truck driver escaped unharmed.
According to the truck driver involved, the car attempted to overtake on the wrong side of the road and collided with the side of the truck. The impact left the car heavily damaged, with significant front-end destruction and shattered windows. Emergency services, including police, medical teams, and towing services, responded swiftly to the scene.
The injured car driver received on-site treatment from ER24 paramedics before being transported to Mediclinic Ermelo for further care. Though shaken by the incident, the truck driver did not sustain any injuries.
