|||Cape Town - One man was killed and two others injured when two vehicles collided head-on in the Southern Cape, paramedics said on Wednesday.
ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring said the accident occurred on the N2 highway near Sedgefield.
“Paramedics, along with other services, arrived on scene and found both light motor vehicles lying crushed in the middle of the road, with debris spread across the scene.”
Meiring said paramedics found a man lying trapped motionless inside one of the vehicle.

Two other patients, a man and woman, were found on the scene with serious injuries, Meiring added.

Once treated, the patients were transported by ambulance to Mediclinic George for urgent care.
