Gerrits’ passenger is still in the hospital and she has to undergo reconstructive surgery.
“She does not have medical aid and therefore needs each and everyone’s help to undergo reconstructive surgery on her right leg. Without the surgery, there is a good chance that she will never regain full mobility or worse, she might lose her leg due to her femur that is completely crushed,” said a friend, Ms Bronwyn Havemann.
Havemann said a bank account has been opened to help pay for medical costs.
If you want to contribute, you can contact Havemann on 064 655 6297.
Gerrits leaves behind two children, his mother and also his sister.
