“Two light motor vehicles were found to have collided. An 18-year-old male passenger from one of the vehicles was found to have sustained fatal injuries and was declared dead on arrival of paramedics.

“Three other patients were treated for injuries ranging from minor to moderate and taken to a nearby hospital for further care.”

In another crash on Monday, two women believed to be in their 40s, were hospitalised after a hit-and-run incident at the Hill and Kent Road intersection in Ferndale.
