A 5 month pregnant woman is in a critical condition after been involved in a head on collision between a bakkie and a light motor vehicle this morning on Birmingham road.

ER24 arrived on the scene to find the bakkie in the middle of the road and found the light motor vehicle wrapped around a light pole. The driver of the light motor vehicle who is the pregnant woman had suffered severe head injuries and possible neck and back injuries as well. Advanced Life Support Intervention had to be performed to try and save her life. She was stabilised on scene and transported to Pietermaritzburg Medi-Clinic in a critical condition.

The driver of the bakkie was treated for neck and back injuries and was also transported to Pietermaritzburg Medi-Clinic in a serious condition for further medical treatment.

It is unclear who was at fault but it is believed that the two vehicles had a head on collision, the impact was so great that the light motor vehicle spun and collided side on into the light pole.
