“Initial reports suggested the teen’s car and a bakkie collided on the R55. Two other vehicles were also involved.

An 18-year-old is in critical condition following a multiple vehicle accident in Centurion at the weekend.

This happened on the corners R55 and Mimosa Road on Saturday night, according to Rufus Engelbrecht of Emer-G-Med.

“Initial reports suggested the teen’s car and a bakkie collided on the R55. Two other vehicles were also involved.

“When paramedics arrived on the scene, there were GPG medics helping the patient before medics took over from them,” Engelbrecht said.

He said the teen sustained head injuries and was airlifted to Milpark Hospital.

“Patients from the two other cars suffered minor injuries and were assessed on the scene.

On Monday, Engelbrecht said the Centurion teen was still in ICU.

He thanked Centurion CPF, Laudium disaster management, First Help, SAPS diplomatic unit and Rocket HEMS for their assistance.
