On Monday afternoon, IPSS Medical Rescue responded to reports of two contractors who had been electrocuted while working on a site.
Both were transported privately to the Shakaskraal clinic, where despite the best efforts of clinic and IPSS medical personnel, one man had sadly succumbed to his injuries. The second man sustained critical injuries, and IPSS Medical advanced life support immediately got to work stabilizing him.
Due to the nature of his injuries, the decision was made to activate the Air Mercy Service (AMS) Helicopter, and he was flown to a suitable facility for further care.
Our condolences go out to the friends and family of the deceased.
A big thank you to clinic staff for all their great efforts.
