Three men can count themselves lucky to be alive after two separate accidents that occurred today, March 14.
The first accident occurred this morning on the De Rust Road near the Van Wykskraal turnoff. The driver was allegedly travelling from Dysselsdorp to Oudtshoorn when he crossed the road, hit the safety railings and rolled down the embankment. According to information obtained, law enforcement officers arrived at the scene and managed to get the driver out of the vehicle in time before it caught fire. The man was transported to hospital by ambulance.
A second accident occurred this afternoon on the Welbedacht Road when a truck left the road and fell down a cliff. Two men who were driving from the Calitzdorp side in the direction of Oudtshoorn were transported to hospital by ambulance.
