Rescue services had to use the jaws-of-life equipment to the patients from the vehicle. Once freed, paramedics treated the patient and provided him with advanced life support interventions.

He was thereafter airlifted by a private medical helicopter to Baragwanath Provincial Hospital for urgent treatment.

The driver of the second vehicle fortunately did not sustain any injuries. Local authorities were on scene for further investigations.
