Motorcyclist critical after hit-and-run crash outside Pretoria
"We treated the critical patient before he was airlifted to Steve Biko hospital for further care."
A motorcyclist sustained critical injuries during a hit-and-run accident outside Pretoria on Monday evening.
The incident happened on the R515 just outside Rayton, said Rufus Engelbrecht of Emer-G-Med.
“The motorcyclist was struck by a bakkie that then left the scene. We treated the critical patient before he was airlifted to Steve Biko hospital for further care,” he said.
Police are investigating.
In a separate unrelated incident, a pedestrian was critical after he was struck by a car on Solomon Mahlangu Drive on Monday morning.
“As he got out of a taxi and moved to across the road, he was hit by an oncoming vehicle and sustained critical injuries,” said Engelbrecht.
He was treated on scene and then transported to hospital.
