Two killed after trucks and bakkie collide on M7

Emergency services say the men had been working on the stationary vehicle on the freeway between Wakesleigh Road and the N2 - heading towards the Bluff. 

Rescue Care's Garrith Jamieson says one of the men died on scene.

"It appears that one of the trucks had broken down in the left-hand lane, and then the collision occurred between another truck, as well as a bakkie. Two men were entrapped - one being under each truck - and a heavy-duty rig was used to lift the rig off him," he said.

The injured man was rushed to a nearby hospital for further treatment - but later died.

"The man was in a critical condition and was rushed through to hospital. However, after arriving in hospital, he went into cardiac arrest. He unfortunately passed away in hospital," he said.
