A 21-year-old man is fighting for his life in hospital after sustaining serious head injuries in a road accident that occurred a few metres from the Dibete Barrier Gate recently.

The impact forced the Toyota Wish into another vehicle, a combi transporting students. Dibete Police Station assistant commander, Assistant Superintendent Modisana Seleka, confirmed the incident, stating that the injured passenger suffered head injuries and complained of back pain, and he is currently hospitalised at Mahalapye Hospital.
