An elderly woman lost control of her vehicle in the Primrose Square parking lot on Wednesday, knocking over a number of people.<\/p>\n

The vehicle hit three pedestrians and a motorcyclist near the Pick n Pay Primrose entrance.<\/p>

“I was waiting for the driver to come out of the disabled persons parking, when the car took off at speed, hitting a beacon, the biker and the three people,” said Lee-Anne van den Heever, an eye-witness.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was stopped by decorative stones and shopping trolleys, and was still running, even after the accident.<\/p>

Emer-G-Med and other paramedics arrived soon after the accident occurred.<\/p>\n

Three people were seriously injured and they were all taken to the Life Roseacres Clinic, in Primrose.<\/p>\n

“The Emer-G-Med ambulance took two patients and the government ambulance took one patient,” said Emer-G-Med paramedic Jonathan van Wyk.<\/p>\n

The motorcyclist and the elderly woman were not seriously injured and were, therefore, not taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

The injured people were treated by advanced life support paramedics on scene before being transported to hospital.<\/p>\n
