A 24 year old man died after his scooter collided with a car on Wellington Road near Durban Road in the early hours of this morning.

It is reported that the man was in a critical condition on arrival of paramedics after he crashed a scooter into the side of Toyota Corolla.

He sustained a head injury as well as other suspected fractures. The man had no pulse, so CPR was initiated on the scene and paramedics rushed the male patient to the nearby Durbanville Clinic.

At the hospital medical personnel managed to get a pulse back but the man soon went back into cardiac arrest.

It is alleged that the man jumped over the car and landed around ten meters from the scooter. Police were in attendance and are investigating the incident.
