11yr Knocked Down By Car In Critical Condition.

A 11yr old female is in a critical condition after been knocked down by a light motor vehicle at the corners of Trichardts and Cason road in Boksburg North this afternoon.

ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene to find the young girl lying in the road, with the light motor vehicle just a few meters away from her. The patient had suffered severe head injuries, along with fractures to her lower limbs. Advanced Life Support intervention had to be performed on the young patient.

ER24 paramedics placed the child on a manual ventilator and stabilised her further before putting her into the ER24 Discovery Medicopter and airlifting her in a critical condition to Johannesburg General Hospital where trauma staff were waiting to take over the medical treatment from paramedics.

The necessary authorities were on the scene and would be investigating the incident further.
