Pretoria paramedics responded out to an accident at the corners of Doreen Avenue and Frans du Toit street in Rosslyn, Pretoria where two cars had collided in a side impact collision.
Paramedics arrived on scene to find bystanders performing CPR on an elderly woman at the side of the road. She had allegedly been pulled from her sedan and they were trying to revive her. Upon their initial assessments, there were no signs on life and she was declared dead on scene a short while later.
It appears that one of the vehicles had crossed the two way stop intersection at the wrong time, where another sedan collided into the drivers side of the car the 88 year old was driving.
The driver of the other vehicle was found walking around the scene and he had suffered minor injuries and did not require transportation to hospital by ambulance.
The cause of the collision requires full investigation by the necessary authorities.
As paramedics were finishing up on the scene of the accident, reports came through that a helicopter had gone down near the N1 Walmannsthal area. They made their way to the scene and were redirected to an open field along the N4 near the Dr. Swanepoel road off ramp.
They found a light aircraft stationary in the grassy field. They found the pilot walking around the area. He explained that he had experienced engine failure as he was coming in to land, and he then needed to perform an emergency landing and the best place he could see had been the open field.
Fortunately he had not suffered any injury and he did not need to be taken to hospital by ambulance. The pilot had been the only occupant of the aircraft at the time.
