MAN AIRLIFTED AFTER VEHICLE CRASHED THROUGH CENTRE MEDIAN & INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC

A 47-year-old man was airlifted from the N14 highway in Muldersdrift after his vehicle crashed through the centre median and into oncoming traffic.

Shortly before 3pm paramedics from ER24 and other services arrived on the scene where they found the man’s Toyota Hilux between trees on the opposite side of the highway.

Two other vehicles with damage were also found on the side of the road.

It is understood that the man might have experienced a medical emergency and lost control over his vehicle. He crashed through the centre median of the N14 near Beyers Naude and collided with two vehicles traveling towards Pretoria on the highway.
