“Paramedics have attended to dozens of accidents, treating multiple patients,” said Jamieson.

ALS Paramedics would like to encourage the public to please:

• Be patient
• Reduce your speed
• Allow extra travel time and leave a little earlier
• Ensure your vehicle is roadworthy – check your windscreen wipers and tyres
• When it’s rainy and misty, use your headlights so you are visible

“Let’s reduce the carnage on our roads,” added Jamieson.

ALS Paramedics can be contacted at 082 926 8489.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
