Three-year-old boy airlifted after Sheffield accident
The toddler is a resident of the Taffeni informal settlement.
A three-year-old boy from the Taffeni informal settlement in Sheffield had to be airlifted after being hit by a car on the P228 this morning.
According to IPSS Medical Rescue spokesperson, Samantha Meyrick, paramedics arrived to find the toddler in a critical condition and the decision was made to call an AMS helicopter.
The boy was rushed to a suitable trauma facility.
The P228 is the road which runs between Salt Rock Road and the Tinley Manor link road.
In November last year, a motorbike delivery driver was killed in an accident on a similar stretch of the road as this morning’s accident.
