IPSS Medical Rescue's Samantha Meyrick said the N2 was closed to allow a Netcare helicopter to land to transport the critically wounded officer to hospital.“IPSS Medical Rescue advanced life support paramedics are on scene on the N2 Stanger under the bridge where a shooting has taken place. It is an active crime scene and will be investigated by SAPS.”
