N1 accident leaves man in critical condition
The driver sustained multiple injuries including a femur fracture and spinal injuries.
A man was airlifted to hospital when he drove into the back of a trailer in the east of Pretoria on Tuesday morning.
The accident occurred just after 6:00 on the N1 north before Rigel Avenue.
“The vehicle drove into the back of the trailer that apparently became unhooked from another vehicle,” said Tshwane emergency services spokesperson, Charles Mabaso.
He said two people were injured in the process.
“The driver sustained multiple injuries including a femur fracture and spinal injuries and was airlifted in a critical condition,” he said.
“Another man was treated and transported to Unitas hospital with minor to moderate injuries.” Mabaso said traffic was heavily backed up following the accident.
The scene has since been cleared.
