A three year old girl is in a critical condition, while parents are both in a serious condition after collision involving two light motor vehicles on the Bonniemile road of Kuilsriver in the early hours of this morning.
ER24 spokesperson Derrick Banks says paramedics arrived on the scene to find the little child and mother lying in the road, while the father was entrapped behind the steering wheel.
“The little three year old had suffered a possible head injury and bone fractures. Advanced Life Support intervention was performed on the child before being rushed to Red Cross Children’s Hospital in a critical condition.
“The Jaws of Life was used to free the father from the vehicle. Both the mother and father had suffered bone fractures and multiple lacerations,” said Banks.
Banks added that the second vehicle was further down the road but injuries are unknown to ER24 as it is believed that Metro Ambulance may have dealt with the injured in that car.
All necessary authorities were on the scene and a full investigation would be done into the accident.
