A Pietermaritzburg woman sustained serious injuries after jumping from a moving vehicle in an attempt to escape her alleged abductor. The incident occurred just after 4 p.m. today on Alexandra Road, Scottsville, prompting multiple community groups to report the emergency. Mi7 National Group's Emergency Medical Services responded swiftly to the scene.
Upon arrival, medics found the woman in a distressed state, suffering from multiple abrasions and fractures. She received advanced life support interventions before being transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.
While the exact details of the incident remain unclear, it is believed the woman was using a popular ride-hailing service to travel to work when the driver began behaving erratically. Reports suggest the driver started driving recklessly and ignored the woman's pleas to stop the vehicle. When the driver allegedly passed her workplace without stopping, she made the desperate decision to jump from the moving vehicle.
Witnesses, including members of a nearby security company, managed to bring the vehicle to a halt. The case has been handed over to the police for further investigation, but details beyond the medics’ departure are unknown at this time.
