According to Rescue Care’s operations director, Garrith Jamieson, paramedics were called to a horrific scene just after 11am this morning on Alice Street near Cross Street.
Advanced Life Support paramedics, Jamieson and Ceron Lennox were dispatched to the scene by SAPS for assistance.
“On arrival the two paramedics were horrified at what they saw. People who had been looting and striking had thrown a concrete bin in the roadway, the bin had broken and inside the bin was a infant wrapped up in a blanket.
“The infant was then run over by passing cars. Paramedics assessed the baby and sadly declared the infant deceased at the scene,” said Jamieson.
