A schoolboy sustained serious injuries after he was hit by a car at the intersection of Kingsway and Link Roads at about 6pm on Wednesday, 28 May.
Devin Austin (18), a Kingsway matric student and first team rugby player, was travelling south on Kingsway, returning home from gym on his bicycle when a vehicle came out of Link Road and collided into his side.
“Netcare 911 paramedics arrived at the scene and found the cyclist lying in the intersection,” said Netcare 911 media liaison, Chris Botha.
“After he was stabilised, he was transported to hospital. The driver of the vehicle escaped uninjured.”
The family said doctors operated on Devin’s leg, which was broken in three places, last night and he will undergo another operation tomorrow.
They thank everyone who stopped at the scene to assist.
