Shortly after at 16:00 the Volunteer Emergency Medical Response Unit received another call for a pedestrian struck by a motorcycle on Solomon Mahlangu drive in the Faerie Glen area of Pretoria east, on scene we found 1 patient lying in the ditch next to the road with serious injuries, the patient was stabilized and treated on scene until a Gauteng Emergency Medical Services ambulance arrived to transport the patient to a nearby hospital.
Both Motorcycle riders were checked on scene and confirmed that they would go to the Doctor privately.
