A driver is fighting for his life in a Durban hospital after he was knocked while changing a tyre on the N3 on Tuesday morning.
It is alleged that the man had stopped along the eastbound carriageway near the Pavilion Shopping Centre when he was struck by a truck.
Spokesperson for Emer-G-Med, Kyle van Reenen, said emergency teams arrived to find the man lying on the roadway with multiple life-threatening injuries. "Advanced life support intervention was needed to stabilize him before he was transported rapidly by ambulance to a nearby hospital for further care.
“Reports from the scene indicate the man was changing a tyre on his vehicle when he was struck by a heavy articulated vehicle which then failed to stop at the scene," van Reenen said.
