A man believed to be in his 30s was shot and injured on Friday night after he gave two men a lift.
ER24 spokesperson Ineke van Huyssteen said paramedics had responded to a call shortly after 8.30pm about a shooting near the N3 Tugela Toll Plaza in Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal.
“They found the police and other local authorities already at the scene. Upon further assessment, paramedics found the man still seated in his vehicle. He had sustained a gunshot wound to the thigh,” said Van Huyssteen in a statement.
It appears that the man was shot by two men he had given a lift to earlier. He, however, had managed to drive to the toll plaza to get assistance.
