Emer-G-Med paramedics responded to the scene in Gordon Road in Morningside, Durban, to find the woman in a serious condition after the freak accident.

He said it was further alleged vagrants in the area robbed the injured woman of her belongings before emergency services personnel arrived on the scene.
“Advanced life support paramedics used interventions to stabilise her before she was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for further care.”
