Two people miraculously escaped with minor injuries after their vehicle veered off the N3 and plunged down an embankment. Exact detail to the cause of the accident and preceding events will remain a subject for police investigation and comment.
Netcare 911 paramedics arrived at the scene and had to set up a rope system so that they could clamber down the embankment with their equipment to treat the injured. With the help of the Netcare 911 rescue officer medics brought the patients up to the roadside before they were loaded into an ambulance and transported to a local hospital for the care that they required.
