Midlands EMS Crew Involved in Serious Motor Vehicle Collision
27 June 2026 | From Arrive Alive
Shortly after 21:00 on Friday evening, a Midlands EMS crew was involved in a serious motor vehicle collision while on duty.
The collision resulted in one crew member becoming entrapped inside the emergency vehicle, requiring specialised rescue equipment, including the Jaws of Life, to safely extricate them. The injured crew member sustained serious injuries and required immediate Advanced Life Support treatment at the scene before being stabilised for transport.
A second crew member sustained minor injuries during the incident and was also treated on scene.
Once both patients had been stabilised, they were transported to a Level 1 Trauma Hospital for further assessment and ongoing medical care.
Midlands EMS would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Netcare 911 and all emergency services who responded swiftly and professionally to assist our crew during this difficult incident. Your rapid response, teamwork, and dedication are greatly appreciated.
Our thoughts are with our injured colleagues, and we wish them both a full and speedy recovery.
