5 Killed, 6 injured in two separate collisions

In the first incident, two people were killed, and five others sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate after two vehicles collided on the Blybank road in Carletonville last night.
On arrival at approximately 22H00, paramedics found a vehicle standing in the road and another vehicle standing partially into the field. Upon further assessment, paramedics found two people entrapped in the vehicle. Unfortunately, there was nothing paramedics could do for them and they were declared dead at the scene.
Five others were found to have sustained minor to moderate injuries.
ER24, as well as another medical service on the scene, transported the patients to hospital for further medical care.

ER24 paramedics came across the second incident where they found three people who were killed and one who sustained moderate injuries after the vehicle they were travelling in rolled on the P111/R501 road in Carletonville early this morning.
Paramedics stopped at the scene at approximately 03H00, where they found the patients lying across the road. It is believed that they were ejected from the vehicle. Three patients were declared dead at the scene.
Another medical service on scene transported the patient to hospital for further medical care.
The exact circumstances surrounding both incidents were not known to our paramedics, but police were on the scene for further investigations.
