TimesLive reports that on Sunday morning a motorist using the emergency lane on the N3 crashed into a Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) patrol BMW at the scene of another accident.
JMPD officers Simphiwe Msimanga and Neo Motseke were attending a crash on the N3 South freeway and London Road in Linbro Park when a motorist in a silver Citroén collided into the rear of their stationary vehicle. This pushed the BMW into a white Kia Rio, which was also stationary due to the earlier accident. JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla reported: “The male driver of the Citroén sustained critical injuries. He was taken to Helen Joseph Hospital. The female passenger in the Citroén sustained serious injuries.” The female passenger was taken to Morningside Hospital. There were no injuries in the Kia as there was no one in the vehicle at the time of the collision. Msimanga sustained head injuries and is still in Milpark Hospital, while Motseke has been discharged from the hospital after observation and treatment. A case of reckless and negligent driving was opened at Sandringham police station for investigation.
