There were no other vehicles involved in the incident.

The exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear at this stage and are subject to investigation.

We would like to thank ER24 EMS (Pty) Ltd., Sharp Medical, and the Midvaal Fire Department for their assistance and cooperation on scene.

Safety Tip:
If you witness a motor vehicle collision, avoid moving injured occupants unless there is an immediate danger such as fire or another life-threatening hazard. Promptly contact emergency services, keep a safe distance from the scene, and allow trained responders to safely assess, treat, and extricate patients where necessary.

CERT CENTURION | RASLOUW

In the early hours of Monday morning, our Centurion crew responded to a single motor vehicle collision on the M10 (Wierda Road) near Raslouw, Centurion.

A single sports utility vehicle (SUV) had veered off the roadway and rolled several times, ejecting all of the occupants.

Upon arrival, it was found that three patients had been ejected from the vehicle and had sustained serious injuries.

One patient, a teenager, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene, while the other two patients were transported to a nearby hospital in a critical condition. Sadly, one of the critically injured patients later succumbed to their injuries.

The exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear at this stage, and police have opened an investigation into the collision.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families, friends, and loved ones of the deceased during this incredibly difficult time.

Road Safety Tip:
Always wear your seat belt, no matter how short the journey. Modern vehicles are equipped with advanced safety features such as airbags, but airbags are designed to work together with seat belts—not as a replacement for them. Without a seat belt, occupants can be thrown around inside the vehicle or even ejected during a collision or rollover, dramatically increasing the risk of serious injury or death. Buckling up takes only a few seconds but could save your life. Every trip, every seat, every time.

Upon arrival, crews found that the delivery motorcycle rider had sustained moderate injuries.

The exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear at this stage and will be investigated by the relevant authorities.

We would like to thank Emergency Medical Solutions for their assistance and cooperation on scene.

Safety Tip:
Delivery riders are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the safety features available on their delivery applications, including the emergency or panic button. In the event of an accident or other emergency, these features can help quickly alert your control centre or emergency contacts to your location. Before starting your shift, ensure your mobile device is fully charged, location services are enabled, and you know how to activate the emergency features within your delivery app.

Diabetic emergencies can develop quickly and may become life-threatening if not treated promptly.

Family members and caregivers should familiarise themselves with early warning signs such as confusion, sweating, dizziness, or weakness, and seek immediate medical assistance if symptoms arise.
