A twenty year old man was left with serious injuries after he crashed into the back of a stationery car while riding his motorbike. It seems that the driver of the car slowed down to almost a stop as he was attempting to pull off into a side road from Louisrus road near Vanderbijlpark.
The impact was quite severe, pushing the young mans pelvis up against the handlebars, causing a bad break to his hips. ER24 paramedics on the scene also treated him for a possible break to his left leg, hypothermia and loss of blood. His hips were stabilised by means of a tie splint and he was given pain medication before he was moved into the ambulance. Paramedics noticed that the young man was strangely calm through the entire incident, and was handed over to the hospital staff in a serious but stable condition.
The man's family arrived on scene and were visibly concerned for their son.
It seems that the driver of the car had left the scene by the time the paramedics arrived. The police will be investigating.
