An eight –year-old-boy and a man in his twenties died in a roll-over accident on the N1 about twenty kilometres outside Kroonstad in the direction of Johannesburg this afternoon. Exact detail to the cause of the accident and preceding events will remain a subject for police investigation and comment.
Netcare 911 paramedics arrived at the scene and found the crumpled wreckage of the vehicle at the side of the road; tragically both occupants had died before our arrival due to the extensive injuries that they sustained.
