Two men escaped serious injury on Friday afternoon when the roof of a petrol station collapsed onto three vehicles in Sharpville in Vereeniging.
ER24 said paramedics arrived on the scene to find that the roof had fallen onto a small bus, a taxi and a light motor vehicle.
“The drivers and passengers had taken refuge in the nearby shop,” said ER24 spokesperson, Russel Meiring.
He said medics assessed the patients and found that two men, believed to be in their 20s, had sustained only minor injuries.
No one else was injured.
“It is believed that the heavy rains and hail played a contributing factor in the cause of the collapse. Local authorities were on the scene for further investigations,” Meiring said.
