We were requested to remove the vehicle door to gain access to the patient, who was later declared deceased by an emergency medical care team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Several emergency resources responded to the scene, including Station 38 Fire, ambulance services and traffic police.<\/p>\n<p>Nieuwoudt confirmed that the deceased was a 19-year-old man.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only challenge on scene was the delay in waiting for the police,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tAt Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention.
