A Road Traffic Inspector is in a serious condition after been struck down by a motorist on the N3 Durban Bound near Peacevale this morning.
ER24 Medicopter Ground Support Unit was the first to arrive on the scene and found the woman lying in the emergency lane of the freeway. Her collogue was seated next to her telling her not to move. The patient had suffered severe injuries to her leg and head, it was unclear if she had suffered any abdominal injuries at the time. Advanced Life Support intervention was performed on the patient before she was airlifted by a medical helicopter to Life Entabeni Hospital were casualty staff were waiting for her arrival.
It is believed that that officer was trying to pull over a taxi when she was hit by a light motor vehicle in the next lane. The impact caused the woman to be catapulted into the air and land in the emergency lane.
