On Thursday morning at 02h28 Netcare 911 paramedics responded to a shooting incident in Pietermaritzburg. Reports from the scene indicate that a truck driver, a twenty-nine-year-old man had stopped at the Church Street off ramp on the N3.
Reports from him indicate that a suspect then climbed into the passenger side of the truck and shot him in the abdomen.
The truck driver fled from the truck and made his way to a nearby service station to get help. When Paramedics arrived at the service station they found the man who is a foreign national, to have sustained a life threatening injury.
The Netcare 911 advanced life support paramedic and his team worked fervently at the scene to stabilise the critically wounded man before they transported him to a specialised hospital for the care that he required.
