A young female, believed to be in her late teens, was knocked down and critically injured after a light motor vehicle knocked her down at the intersection of Commercial and Prince Alfred street this morning in Pietermaritzburg.
ER24 responded to the scene and found the young female being treated by members of the public. She was lying near a fence that had spikes on it. She had suffered critical abdominal injuries after the spikes on the fence had penetrated and cut open her abdomen. Advanced Life Support intervention had to be performed before she was rushed off to Grey’s Hospital in a critical condition for further medical care.

It is believed that the young female was walking along the pavement on Commercial road with her boyfriend towards the shop. The driver of the light motor vehicle came out of Prince Alfred street and lost control where the road joined Commercial street, and the vehicle then mounted the pavement. The girl's boyfriend was able to get out of the way quickly enough, but unfortunately the young girl was struck by the car and catapulted into the fence. The driver then drove off, but was caught in Chapel street by the local authorities who witnessed the incident.
