A female was hospitalised after being dragged by her vehicle in Trenance Park, KwaZulu-Natal yesterday afternoon (Saturday).
Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) responded to Havenwood Drive following reports of the incident. Upon arrival, Reaction Officers confirmed that the 54-year-old woman had stopped her blue Hyundai Grand i10 on her driveway.
She exited the vehicle to open her driveway gate. The car subsequently rolled backward, and the woman opened the driver’s door in an effort to engage the foot brake. She was dragged a few meters before the car collided with a pillar at a neighbouring property (picture 2).
The driver sustained moderate injuries and was transported to the hospital by ambulance.
