Paramedics arrived on the scene to find carnage as they found that a Bakkie had overturned and rolled down an embankment into a river coming to rest on its roof. Paramedics carefully made their way down to the vehicle to find a single driver, a male believed to be in his twenties entrapped in the wreckage.
