Two Gauteng Emergency Medical Services (EMS) officials were forced to flee for their lives after armed suspects opened fire on their ambulance while they were transporting a patient in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The Gauteng Department of Health (GDoH) condemned the attack, which happened at about 1.30am on August 29 on the N1 highway shortly after Phumlani Plaza.
The EMS crew was transporting a patient from Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital to Jubilee Hospital for a down-referral when the ambulance was reportedly spiked.
The officials stopped to assess the vehicle, unaware that they were about to come under attack.
