One killed, two injured in east hit-and-run
The three pedestrians were hit by a car that fled the scene on Garsfontein Road.
A person died and two others were injured when they were hit by a vehicle on Garsfontein Road in the east of Pretoria on Tuesday evening.
Vemru paramedics spokesperson Casper Visser said paramedics were called to Garsfontein extension one around 19:00.
“One person sustained fatal injuries while two others sustained minor injuries when a vehicle struck them and then fled the scene,” he said.
Police are investigating.
On Monday evening, in a separate unrelated incident, a person sustained critical injuries following a motor vehicle accident on Solomon Mahlangu after Lynnwood Road.
Visser said paramedics were called just after 23:00 and found one person with critical injuries.
“Our medics activated advanced life support and an ambulance from Netcare911 to assist in stabilising the person,” he said.
“Once the person was stabilised, he was transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.”
