Two siblings critical after Meyerton crash
Two siblings are in a critical condition after being involved in a side-impact collision in Meyerton, south of Johannesburg.
Netcare911 says a two-year-old girl was ejected from the vehicle and found on the road when paramedics arrived on the scene.
She was stabilised and taken to a local hospital.
The four-year-old, who was still inside the vehicle, was pulled out by a bystander.
"The paramedics then placed the four-year-old on a ventilator," says Netcare911 spokesperson Chris Botha.
He was later airlifted to a specialised hospital for urgent care.
The children weren't wearing seat-belts when the incident occurred.
Their mother, who only sustained minor injuries, was however wearing a seat-belt.
Emergency services say the occupants of the other vehicle escaped with no injuries.
