At approximately 11.49pm on Monday night (May 29) Netcare 911 paramedics responded to reports of a very serious collision on the N3 highway in the direction of Germiston, between the Marlboro and London road off-ramps.<\/p>\n

Paramedics responded from their nearby base and were first to arrive on the scene.<\/p>
