Pedestrian Serious After Accident.

A 35yr old man is in a serious condition after been struck by a motorcyclist at the corners of William Nicole and Broadacres road this afternoon.

An Advanced Life Support paramedic from Life Four Ways arrived on the scene to find the man in the road and in a very serious condition. The patient had suffered severe lower limb fractures and had no pulses to his foot. The paramedic contacted ER24 national contact number 084 124 requesting for the Discovery Medicopter to medivac the patient due to the severity of his injuries.

While the Discovery Medicopter was mobile to the scene, Advanced Life Support Intervention was been performed on the patient. The patient was stabilised and transferred into the Discovery Medicopter, which flew the patient to Johannesburg General Hospital for further medical care.

The motor cyclist was been treated by other emergency services on the scene.
The authorities were on the scene and would investigate the accident between the pedestrian and the motor cyclist
