One female has sustained severe injuries this evening after being hit by a vehicle at high speed on the N4 highway in the direction of Pretoria.
Bystanders recall driving past the scene of the incident and seeing the badly injured woman, believed to be in her late 20’s, laying in the middle of the road. She had sustained severe injuries and needed to be transported to the nearest medical facility rapidly.
When ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene the injured woman was being attended to by concerned members of the public. The lady had sustained a severe head injury as well as factures to both legs and both arms. She was treated at the scene before being transported to the Rob Ferreira medical centre.
Once at the hospital the patient’s condition deteriorated rapidly. Paramedics assisted the hospital staff in their attempt to resuscitate the woman, but to no avail as she was later declared dead at the hospital. Local law enforcement authorities were at the scene and will be investigating the alleged hit and run.
