Son of well known Stanger man fights for his life

The 21-year-old's car rolled on the N2 South before the Tongaat Toll Plaza.

A well know KwaDukuza (Stanger) man, Tarzan Naicker‘s son was successfully resuscitated after being critically injured in an accident earlier today.

IPSS Medical Rescue’s Paul Herbst said the 21-year-old’s car rolled on the N2 South before the Tongaat Toll Plaza.

“On arrival paramedics found that the patient had gone into cardiac arrest.

“The patient was quickly removed from the vehicle and paramedics began resuscitation efforts with Advanced Life Support.

“The patient responded well to resuscitation and spontaneous circulation returned.

“He was transported in a critical condition to hospital.”

Herbst said that while successful traumatic resuscitations were extremely rare, the boy’s life still hangs in the balance.

His father Naicker is the disaster management officer for KwaDukuza municipality.
