Two men were injured – one seriously – after the driver lost control of their truck and collided with a wall on the N14, where it joins the R563 in Oaktree, northwest of Krugersdorp, on Wednesday afternoon.
ER24 paramedics were on the scene at 17:27 along with two other private emergency services and the West Rand Fire Department, said ER24 spokesperson Ross Campbell.
The passenger, a man in his thirties, was found sitting in the grass next to the vehicle. He had suffered minor injuries and was taken to Yusuf Dadoo Hospital for further treatment by one of the other private medical services on the scene.
