Elderly couple airlifted to hospital after car overturns in Kruger

A car overturned close to Satara Camp in the Kruger National Park earlier today. An elderly couple was airlifted to MediClinic Nelspruit. Their condition is stable.

SKUKUZA – An elderly couple from Johannesburg is stable in the MediClinic Nelspruit after they sustained multiple injuries today when their car overturned near Satara Camp in the Kruger National Park. It rolled down an embankment at the bridge before Satara Camp.

Mr. Rey Thakhuli, manager of SANParks Media, PR and Stakeholder Relations confirmed to Lowvelder that the reasons why the vehicle overturned is being investigated.

“No animals were involved in the accident,” he said.

One of the witnesses to the accident alerted the rangers and a doctor was immediately dispatched to the scene of the accident.

Mrs. Robyn Baard, spokesperson for MediClinic Nelspruit, said to Lowvelder that both the passenger’s and the driver’s conditions are stable and they have been admitted to the Emergency Centre after being airlifted from the park. She has spoken to both of them.

“They most probably will both be admitted to the hospital for the evening,” said Baard.

“Our male patient is on his way to the theatre to clean out his wounds and the female patient is presently undergoing X-ray scans for shoulder injuries,” said Baard.

How you feel is a secret to others, they mostly judge from the looks of you O** Maybe after having talked to you for a while can make them change their mind and look at you as someone who can still be considered a member of humanity lol
