Crash survivor, child, airlifted
The boy who survived this morning's fatal crash on Van Reenen's Pass has been airlifted to a hospital in Pretoria
The surviving child from the fatal car crash that took place along Van Reenen’s Pass this morning has been airlifted to a hospital in Pretoria.
The surviving boy is 12 years old and was in a stable condition when he was airlifted by plane this evening. He spent the day in hospital after being the only family member to survive a horror crash between an Isuzu double-cab bakkie and a truck. For the story, click HERE
Family members and emergency workers gathered around as ER24 and AeroCare moved him from an ambulance to a small airplane. The flight was estimated to take roughly an hour and a half.
The boy’s uncle was on scene and has confirmed the ages of the deceased, but wishes to keep their identities private at this stage. The mother was 36, the stepfather was 46 and the little boy was nine (it would’ve been his 10th birthday at the end of this month). The family were on their way to Shelly Beach for a holiday when the accident happened.
The family would like to thank Angels in Motion, ER24 and AreoCare for all their help and kindness.
