A six-year-old girl is fighting for her life in a Durban hospital after she was struck by a car along Briardale Road in Newlands, Durban this morning. Exact detail to the cause of the accident and preceding events will remain a subject for police investigation and comment.
Netcare 911 paramedics arrived at the scene and found the child lying on the roadway in a critical condition. After she was placed on a ventilator and skillfully immobilized on a trauma board, medics transported her to the Nkosi Albert Luthuli hospital for the care that she required.
