Mom and son injured after crashing into tree
7 March
The Jaws of Life had to be used to rescue a woman and a boy after their vehicle had crashed into a tree on Robert Broom Drive in Rant-en-Dal on 6 March.
Information obtained indicates that the driver of the vehicle lost control. This is the third vehicle accident on this road in just two weeks.
The emergency medical services of Netcare 911 and the West Rand District Municipality’s Fire Department and members of the Sector 3 Community Policing Forum were on the scene quickly to help to free the driver and her passenger.
Santi Steinmann, spokesperson for Netcare 911 says they found that both occupants were in a critical condition.
“Emergency Services had to make use of the Jaws of Life to extricate the two patients from the vehicle.”
The Netcare1 helicopter airlifted the critically injured boy to hospital while the mother was rushed to hospital by ambulance for the urgent medical care they required.
Exact details about the cause of the accident and preceding events will be investigated by the police.
Ons bid vir julle. Sterk wees Senekal Familie.
SOOOO sorry about Mom & Son accident & the passing of her son.
thank you Krugersdorp News for fantastic Newspaper every Wednesday, (We didn’t get this past Wednesdsy???) that left big hole in our day.
Its tragicthe little boy died, but as a person travelling everyday on this road, I must question whether this woman was speeding and lost control of the vehicle? (as this seems to be the norm on Robert Broom)
