A 30-year-old man was shot in the head following a car crash on South Africa Drive in Cosmo City on the evening of 5 October.
According to ER24 spokesperson Werner Vermaak, the man told paramedics that he was involved in a collision with another vehicle when the other driver apparently got out of the vehicle and shot him.
“Shortly after 8pm paramedics from ER24 arrived on the scene where they found the 30-year-old sitting on a pavement near his vehicle,” said Vermaak.
The man had a gunshot wound to the front of his head and he was immediately assessed by paramedics and treated for his injury.
“It appears that the bullet entered the front of his skull. He was in a serious, but stable condition. He was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment,” he said.
He further explained that Metro Police attended the scene and questioned the driver of the other vehicle by the time paramedics left for the hospital. He was not injured in the incident.
