Four people were injured when a truck lost control and climbed over the pavement and crashed into a hair salon on Bertha street in Rosenttenville in the south of Johannesburg, paramedics said on Sunday.
All the four injured people were clients in the salon, the truck driver and employees of the salon were not injured in the crash.
Netcare 911 paramedics responded shortly after 9.20am on Saturday morning to reports of a road accident in Bertha Street in Rosenttenville in the south of Johannesburg, Netcare 911 spokesman Shawn Herbst said in a statement.
According to reports from the scene of the accident, the driver of a truck apparently lost control of the vehicle which then crashed over the pavement and into a packed hair salon, he said.
Medics found that four people in the hair salon had sustained moderate injuries and were treated on the scene before being transported by ambulance to hospital for further treatment, Herbst said.
