A 28 year old has sustained extensive and critical injuries after he fell five storeys out of a widow in the early hours of this morning. The paramedics arrived to find him lying on the ground, with witnesses explaining that the man’s apartment had also been engulfed in flames. The reason as to why the man went out the window is still under question, and the reasons under speculation will need to be investigated by the local authorities that were at the scene.
After a fall from that height paramedics were shocked to find that the man was still alive. He was however in a critical condition having sustained extensive and multiple injuries. Paramedics placed him on life saving equipment and treated him for his injuries which included multiple broken bones, internal injuries and a severe head injury. They loaded the man into the ambulance and transported him to the Charoltte Maxeke Academic Hospital in Johannesburg where he remains in a critical condition.
