One person died Wednesday morning when the bakkie he was traveling in went over a bridge on the N1 in Centurion and landed upside down on the road below.
The fatal crash at Van Rynveld Avenue next to the N1 bridge occurred at 6 am.
Emer-G-Med said: “Reports from the scene were that a light delivery vehicle careened off the N1, overturning and landing on its roof on the roadway below”.
Paramedics found the passenger to have sustained fatal injuries. He was declared dead on the scene.
Emer-G-Med said the driver of the white bakkie was found in a critical condition and several advanced life support interventions were needed to stabilise him before he was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
The dead man thought to be in his 30s has not been named but police are investigating the cause of the fatal crash.
