Kuruman, Northern Cape –

One man was killed and three others were injured when two vehicles collided outside Kuruman, Northern Cape paramedics said on Saturday.

Spokeswoman for ER24, Vanessa Jackson said they suspected that the one vehicle was trying to overtake the other when the driver had to swerve back into the lane.

He crashed into the rear right hand side of the other car, causing it to roll up the embankment and lie on its roof.

“Paramedics arrived on scene to find that there had been two men and two women (in one vehicle). One of the men had died and he was found lying on the roof of the overturned vehicle,” said Jackson.

One woman had dislocated her shoulder.

The three were all treated at the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital.

“When we got to the scene, the occupants of the other vehicle were nowhere to be found… It is unclear as to what happened to them but we believe they absconded, “ said Jackson.
