May 16, 2026 • Accidents, Pedestrain

Just before 20:00 the Volunteer Emergency Medical Response Unit received a call for a pedestrian that was struck by a vehicle at high speed on the R21 highway close to the N1 interchange. On arrival with members from Pretoria Volunteer Emergency Services, one patient was found in the fast lane, on assessment the patient was found with extensive injuries and was declared deceased on arrival.

The scene was handed over to SAPS to investigate. We send our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased.

Thank you to Old East Safety Forum and TMPD for ensuring the scene was safe for our teams.
