One killed, three injured in two-vehicle collision at intersection in Randfontein

A man was killed and three others injured this afternoon when a light motor vehicle and bakkie collided at the R41 and R28 intersection in Randfontein, west of Johannesburg. 
ER24 paramedics, along with another service, arrived on the scene to find a wrecked light motor vehicle on the side of the road. A bakkie was found parked a short distance away.
Upon closer inspection, paramedics found the driver, a man, lying outside his light motor vehicle. Two other people, a man and woman, were found seated inside the vehicle. A fourth patient, from the bakkie, was assessed and found to have sustained moderate injuries.
Paramedics assessed the patients and found that the man passenger had sustained critical injuries while the two others had sustained moderate injuries.
The patients were treated for their injuries and provided the critically injured man with advanced life support interventions. After some time, the critically injured patient’s vital signs rapidly diminished.
CPR and further advanced life support interventions were initiated, in an effort to revive the patient. Unfortunately, after some time, no vital signs returned and the man was pronounced dead by another service.
The remaining patients were later transported to Lenmed Randfontein for further treatment.
Local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
