A fifty year old man is fighting for his life after he was shot in an alleged hijacking incident in the Isipingo area south of Durban this morning.
Emer-G-Med paramedics arrived on the scene just after 7 a.m. to find the man had sustained a gunshot wound to his head and was in a critical condition.
Several advanced life support interventions were needed to stabilize him before he was placed onto a mechanical ventilator to assist him in breathing. A Netcare911 aeromedical helicopter then airlifted him through to a specialist facility for the definitive care that he required.
The South African Police Services were in attendance and will be conducting the necessary investigation accordingly.
