“A vehicle that the motorcycle had seemingly collided with, was parked a few metres away,” Meiring said.
“The man was in a critical condition; assessment on scene revealed he had fractured his femur bone (hip), had bumps and bruises all over his legs and a suspected fractured pelvis,” he told the Record.
The man had to be provided with advanced life support intervention before he was immobilised and transported to Mediclinic Sandton for urgent treatment.
