A 27-year-old motorcyclist is in a critical condition after a side impact accident in Van Riebeeck Park on this morning.
The man, who was travelling down De Wiekus Road around 11.30am, was involved in a collision with an Hyundai Atos at the intersection with Drakensberg Road. The impact of the collision made the car, driven by a woman, overturn onto its side.
The male cyclist was flung over the car, hitting the road on the other side of it.
The man sustained major injuries to his jaw, arm, pelvis and possibly his femur. The woman in the Atos was uninjured.
Netcare 911 worked alongside ER24 to ensure both parties got the attention they needed, Athlenda Mathe from Netcare 911 said.
Netcare 911 transported the male patient to Arwyp shortly before noon.
The exact detail to the cause of the accident is still unknown.
