Independent ambulance company Netcare 911 was among the medical workers to respond to the scene of the accident on Tuesday afternoon.
The woman is said to have
sustained multiple injuries throughout her body, including fractures, according
to Netcare911.
“The truck was squashing
both her and her car. Parts of it had to be cut off in order to free her,”
Shawn Herbst told BBC News.
“Her level of
consciousness was low when we arrived but it was managed on the scene through
advanced life support before she could be transported to a nearby hospital,” Mr.
Herbst added.
The woman is believed to
have been trapped in the wreckage for at least 40 minutes.
A case of reckless and
negligent driving is being investigated against the driver of the lorry, local
media are reporting. The driver had apparently left his car to go and fetch his
child from a primary school in the vicinity.
“When he returned to his
truck, he noticed it was no longer parked where he had left it. He then noticed
that the truck had rolled forward and collided with an Opel Adam,” HeraldLive
quote police spokesperson Sandra Janse van Rensburg as saying.
