A 56 year old tractor driver is in a critical condition after his tractor drove over him at the River Sand Farm in Diepsloot at around 10h00 this morning. It is purported that the tractor driver was standing in between the front and back wheels and for some unknown reason the tractor ran forwards. The man landed under the farming implement and sustained critical injuries.
Paramedic from Netcare 911 had to immobilise the patient on a trauma board, and after stabilising the man he was airlifted to the Netcare Sunning hill hospital in the Netcare 1 helicopter for further medical treatment .
