KZN VIP response teams were requested by concerned community members after witnesses reported a vehicle spinning its tyres and being driven recklessly in the area. The vehicle allegedly struck a pedestrian before crashing shortly thereafter.
Upon arrival on scene, KZN VIP Emergency Medical Services found the pedestrian in a critical condition. Medics immediately began stabilising the patient on scene before transporting the victim to a nearby medical facility for urgent further medical treatment.
The driver allegedly attempted to flee the scene but was swiftly apprehended by KZN VIP members.
SAPS and Metro Police were called to the scene for further investigation. It is understood that the driver was later released by officials, while the victim was reportedly informed that once discharged from hospital, she would need to open a case, after which the suspect could be detained.
