ER24 paramedics transported two people this morning, one critically injured, after four vehicles collided at the intersection of Heidelberg and Van Dyk roads, in Leondale, on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
When paramedics from the ER24 Johannesburg South branch arrived on the scene, they found the four vehicles in the middle of the busy intersection.<\/p>
A wrecked light motor vehicle was found lying partially beneath a bakkie.<\/p>\n
On assessment, paramedics found one man walking around on the scene while another lay trapped inside the light motor vehicle in a critical condition.<\/p>
Rescue workers had to use the Jaws-of-Life to free the man from the vehicle, cutting away most of the vehicle\u2019s roof.<\/p>\n
Once freed, paramedics treated both patients and provided the critically injured man with advanced life support interventions.<\/p>\n
Once treated, both men were transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.<\/p>\n
It is believed that two other patients were transported by another service prior to the arrival of ER24 paramedics.<\/p>\n
The cause of the collision is not yet known but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.<\/p>\n
