Pedestrian Airlifted After Crash
A Mozambican foreign national is in a critical condition after he was involved in a serious pedestrian accident outside the Zandsruit informal settlement.
When paramedics arrived on the scene they found the man lying in the middle of the road with serious injuries. He collided with the front windscreen of a Mercedes and sustained a possible head injury and multiple fractures.
The patient was immobilized on the scene and stabilized. Due to the severity of his injuries, advanced life support manoeuvres had to be implemented to save his life. The air ambulance helicopter was called in to assist.
Shortly after the helicopter landed, the patient was airlifted to the Johannesburg Hospital where he will receive specialized treatment for his injuries.
Marina road was closed during the rescue operation and curious onlookers stood next to the scene of the crash. The Johannesburg's Metro Police Department will investigate the incident.
