Paramedic Critical After Ambulance Crash
A female paramedic from ER24 Kemptonpark, is in a critical condition after she was in a serious accident last night on the Modderfontein Road in the Modderfontein / Kemptonpark Area.
It is believed that a silver Hyundai Jazz lost control on the opposite side of the Modderfontein Highway and rolled into oncoming traffic. The paramedic who was travelling in the ambulance
at the time, tried to avoid colliding with the Jazz. The ambulance and a white VW Minibus collided with each other.
When paramedics and bystanders arrived on the scene, the paramedic was still trapped in the front compartment of the ambulance and had to be rescued from the wreckage. Paramedics treated her (the paramedic) for serious injuries, including facial injuries. She was transported to the Glynnwood Life Hospital. The ambulance was not transporting any patients at the time of the accident.
The driver of the Hyundai Jazz was treated on scene for serious injuries and transported to the Aarwyp Hospital. The driver of the VW Minibus, belonging to a nearby tours company, was treated on the scene and transported to a nearby hospital.
The exact cause for the accident could not be determined last night. ER24 and the Johannesburg Metro Police's Accident investigation Unit will be conducting an investigation into the accident.
