The young girl was lying in the road when the paramedics arrived on scene and she was badly injured. After a quick initial assessment, they found that the fifteen year old needed rapid, life saving treatment.
As paramedics placed her on manual ventilation, and attempted to stabilise her injured body, the ER24 Discovery Medicopter was called in to airlift her to a nearby hospital so that treatment on her could be started as soon as possible.
It seems that the girl, who lived in the area near the Tokai Mall in Tokai Cape Town, was crossing the street when the Jeep collided with her. She had sustained a possible break to her hips, a head injury, and neck and back injuries, and she was barely conscious when paramedics arrived.
Her mother was called to notify her of the accident, and she arrived on scene, totally distraught. She was closely comforted by her friends which were on the scene with her. The occupants of the Jeep were fortunately uninjured, but paramedics were seen to be consoling the woman who had been in the passenger seat of the Jeep at the time of the incident.
The girl was airlifted to hospital where she will receive the necessary treatment for her injuries. Police were on scene to take statements for investigation.
