Just before 23:00 the Volunteer Emergency Medical Response Unit received a call for a serious motor vehicle accident on De Villebois Maruil drive in the Pretorius Park area of Pretoria east. On arrival we found a single vehicle that overturned after colliding with a safety barrier, we found 1 patient still inside the overturned vehicle after their seatbelt got stuck, the patient was quickly removed and stabilized on scene before being transported to a nearby hospital with moderate injuries. Two other patients were assessed on scene, one patient was transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries while the other escaped without injury.
Thank you to Emergency Medical Solutions, Bestcare EMS, CERT-SA , Pretoria Volunteer Emergency Services , EST – Emergency Support Team , City of Tshwane Emergency Services and SAPS for assisting with the scene.
