Lucky escape for driver as car plunges into a river. The vehicle appeared to have veered off the road, ending up upside down in a river in Fourways, said ER24 spokesperson Ross Campbell on Tuesday.
It was a lucky escape for the five occupants of a vehicle which ended up submerged in a river along Witkoppen Road in Fourways, Johannesburg on New Year’s Eve.
Emergency services arrived at the scene just after 22:00 on Monday evening, Campbell said. At the scene, they discovered that the five occupants of the vehicle had freed themselves from the half-submerged wreck.
Paramedics then helped the three men and two women out of the water to reach the river’s edge. The five had minor injuries and were treated at the scene. The exact circumstances of the incident have yet to be determined, Campbell added.
