It was established that the rider had collided with a bakkie, leaving him with a fractured leg and in severe pain. Before emergency services arrived, bystanders had assisted by splinting the leg with a cardboard box in an effort to help stabilise the injury.<\/p>\n

A PVES ECP arrived on scene and immediately assessed the patient’s injuries and administered analgesia for pain management. The injured leg was then re-splinted correctly, and the patient was prepared for transport.<\/p>\n

The patient was subsequently transported to hospital once the ambulance arrived.<\/p>\n
