Five injured in two vehicle collision, Pietermaritzburg
Five people were injured this evening, including an 11-year-old boy, when a light motor vehicle rear-ended another on the N3 Highway before the Church Street off-ramp in Pietermaritzburg.
ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene and found both the light motor vehicles on the side of the road. All of the occupants were found outside their vehicles.
It is believed that one of the vehicles apparently rear-ended a stationary vehicle, broken down on the side of the road.
On inspection, paramedics discovered four adults and an 11-year-old boy lying in his mother’s arms.
Paramedics assessed the young boy and found that he had sustained a serious head injury and was in a critical condition.
Paramedics immediately began their treatment and provided the patient with advanced life support interventions. Once treated, the patient was transported to Greys Hospital for urgent treatment.
The four adult patients were assessed and found to have sustained only minor injuries.
Paramedics treated the patients and transported them to Greys and Northdale Hospital for further treatment.
The cause of the collision is not yet known but local authorities were on scene for further investigations.
