A serious collision occurred on Sunday afternoon, 2 July 2023, along the P483 (Madadeni Road) just outside the Newcastle Dumpsite when two motor vehicles collided head on.
According to an official source, the incident took place at approximately 4 pm, involving a sedan and an SUV.
While authorities are still investigating the exact circumstances surrounding the crash, it occurred as both vehicles were travelling in opposite directions on the busy road.
The official source explained, “Initially, we were told there were entrapments in the vehicle. Emergency personnel then made sure the necessary tools were on hand to extract them.”
However, upon reaching the scene, it was discovered that no one was stuck in either of the vehicles. Sadly, four women sustained injuries as a result of the collision, one woman from the SUV and three from the sedan.
The official source described the injuries as moderate and stated that the injured women received immediate on site medical attention before being transported to the hospital for further treatment. Their current conditions remain undisclosed.
