A woman and her two children sustained serious injuries after a collision on the R82 at the Grasmere intersection in the South of Johannesburg this afternoon.
It is believed that their Opel Astra was collided into by a Ford Focus, and all of the impact was on the left passenger side, where an 8 year old girl was sitting.
When ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene, the little girl was lying in the roadside gutter, and she was in a serious condition. As paramedics quickly assessed her, they decided to call in the ER24 Discovery Medicopter so as to get her to a hospital for further treatment as soon as possible. Her younger brother, aged six, and her mother, also sustained injuries in the accident, but they were stable and were taken to the same hospital by ambulance.
The driver of the Ford was left physically uninjured.
