Staff Reporter.

One person was seriously injured when a section of the Cradlestone Mall roof collapsed on Sunday. Three others sustained minor injuries.

According to Netcare 911’s Shawn Herbst, the collapse took place shortly after midday on Sunday.

Reports indicate that a large portion of a roof and surrounding structure had collapsed on shoppers. Medics assessed the scene and found that three people had sustained minor injuries and were treated on scene.

The person was injured when the roof of the Dealz shop allegedly collapsed and was trapped under debris and had to be extracted before being taken to hospital in an emergency hellicopter.

Some roads were also closed while emergency services waited for the helicopter to land. Roads have since been opened.

The cause of the incident is unknown at this stage.
