A man is a critical condition after crashing his car into a factory wall in Brackenfell last night.
ER24 spokesperson Derrick Banks says paramedics arrived on the scene to find the vehicle had crashed into a factory wall but was resting over a trench that ran along the factory wall.
Banks says the driver was found inside the trench about 3m below the car.
“Emergency personnel stabilised the car before entering the trench. The man had suffered a possible head injury, along with spinal injury and was in a very serious condition.
“He was transported to Tygerberg Hospital in a serious condition,” said Banks.
Banks added that it is unclear what caused the driver to lose control but it is believed that he may have crashed his car and then tried to get out when he fell into the trench below him. Where he landed was directly underneath the car.
