Pedestrian Killed on Highway

A pedestrian was killed this morning on the N1 highway near the Golden Highway in the south of Johannesburg.

Paramedics from ER24 EMS were returning from a previous incident when they noticed people standing next to the highway. Paramedics stopped to investigate and found a male believed to be in his late 20's lying in the middle island of the highway.

The man sustained multiple injuries when he was apparently knocked down by a passing vehicle. The man showed no signs of life and was declared dead due to the the massive injuries he sustained.

A lady was also treated on the scene for minor cuts and bruises. She was apparently traveling in the vehicle that collided with the pedestrian.

The Johannesburg Metro Police attended the scene and will be investigating.
