Man seriusly injured after towing cable snaps
A 30-year- old man was left seriously injured
on Sunday morning after the towing cable on his
recovery vehicle snapped while on Bhece Road in the
Westgate area of PMB.
Paramedics arrived on the scene and found that
the local authorities were already in attendance.
Upon inspection, paramedics found that a flat-bed
recovery vehicle was parked on the side of the road
while a light motor vehicle was parked on the opposite
side.
The recovery driver was found lying a few feet away
from his vehicle.
Paramedics assessed the man and found that he had
sustained a serious injury to his leg.
He was immediately treated on the scene and
provided with several advanced life support
interventions before being transported to a nearby
hospital for further treatment.
It is believed that the recovery vehicle had been using a
tow cable to load a vehicle when another vehicle
crashed into the wire.
Paramedics assessed three women who had been in
the light motor vehicle and found that they had
escaped injury.
The cause of the incident is currently being investigated by authorities.
