At 05H51 Tuesday morning Netcare 911 responded to reports of a collision on the N1 North corner of William Nicol Drive.
Reports from the scene indicate that the driver of a light delivery vehicle drove into the back of a heavy motor vehicle.
Paramedics assessed the scene and found that the driver of the bakkie had sustained serious injuries and was entrapped in the wreckage.
The patient required Advanced Life Support intervention to stabilise him while the Netcare 911 Rescue Technician used the Jaws of Life to free the man.
Once freed the patient was transported by private ambulance to hospital for further treatment.
The truck driver had not sustained any injuries.
All necessary authorities were on scene.
