Two men were killed after a motorcycle collided with a pedestrian on Hendrik Potgieter Road, Muldersdrift, on the evening of 2 July. ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring explained that when paramedics arrived, the men were found lying lifeless in the middle of the road. “A wrecked motorcycle lay roughly 50m away from the patients,” Meiring explained. “Paramedics assessed the motionless body of the pedestrian and found that he had already succumbed to his multiple fatal injuries. Nothing more could be done for him and he was declared dead on scene.”
The motorcyclist also showed no signs of life. “CPR and advanced life support interventions were started to stabilise his vital signs,” Meiring said, adding that after half an hour of this, the patient succumbed to his injuries. “It is understood that the pedestrian failed to notice the oncoming motorbike while he was crossing the road,” Meiring concluded.
