A 45 year old woman was flung from her bike this morning, resulting in her sustaining critical injuries.
ER24 paramedics at the scene said that the woman was allegedly traveling on her motorbike when a car collided into the side of her causing her to be flung from her bike. She then further crashed into the drivers door of another car before paramedics found her lying in the road at the corners of Friedman and 5th avenue in Sandton.
The woman was alert and conscious, but in a severe amount of pain. Upon initial assessment, findings revealed that she had sustained multiple broken bones, a severe chest injury and her foot was badly damaged.
The Advanced Life Support paramedic at the scene treated her for her injuries and she was taken by ambulance to Sunninghill hospital were trauma staff were waiting to take over her treatment.
It appeared that no one else had been injured in the collision.
