06 November 2024 | From Arrive Alive


Motorists have been advised to avoid the route on the Ottofolic Bridge on the M19 due to a single-vehicle collision.

ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson reported that the driver is being airlifted to hospital after sustaining critical injuries. 

“The vehicle somehow lost control and rolled numerous times and collided with the concrete bridge. At this stage, the paramedics are treating the driver who has been placed in a manual ventilator and will be airlifted to hospital,” he said. 

Jamieson advised motorists to steer clear of the route to allow the helicopter more space.
