A 25-year-old woman who is understood to be an Indian national was killed when the driver of the car she was travelling in lost control of the vehicle on the N1 near the Vanderbijlpark offramp earlier on Saturday.

ER24 spokesperson Chitra Bodasing Harduth said ER24 and the government emergency medical services had attended to the accident and found the vehicle had rolled on the side of the road.

“The woman was laying near the vehicle. According to the driver and bystanders‚ the woman‚ who was the front passenger‚ was flung in the vehicle and was hanging from the safety belt out the window. The driver apparently unhooked the safety belt and placed the woman near the vehicle. Upon assessment by paramedics it was found that she sustained multiple injuries.

“Sadly there was nothing that could be done and she was declared dead. The driver sustained minor injuries. He was transported to hospital for further medical care‚” Bodasing Harduth said.

It was believed that both the man and woman were from India‚ she said.
