Just after 13:00 the Volunteer Emergency Medical Response Unit received a call for a person who got seriously injured after the classic car that he was working on crushed him against a retaining wall and ripped the driver door off in a freak accident, in the Silverlakes Golf estate in Pretoria East.
On arrival we found that the patient had sustained critical injuries to his head, chest, abdomen, and left arm. Due to the extent of the patients injuries the decision was made to airlift the patient to a specialist Trauma hospital in Johannesburg via Netcare911 Aeromedical helicopter. The patient was stabilized by our members and a Emergency Care Practitioner from Emer-G-Med before being transported by the aeromedical crew.
Thank you to Emer-G-Med, Netcare911, Lakes Security Forum NPC and Silverlakes estate Security team for assisting the patient.
