A ELDERLY man, believed to be in his 70s, died earlier today when his car ploughed through a wall on the fourth floor of a mall parkade in Overport.Garrith Jamieson of ALS Paramedics said paramedics arrived at the scene after receiving numerous calls.
He said the car had ploughed through the wall "coming to rest on the road below on its roof”.
"The driver, who was the only occupant of the vehicle, was assessed by paramedics inside the vehicle as he was severely entrapped in the wreckage. Unfortunately, he had sustained fatal injuries and there was nothing paramedics could do for him. The man was declared deceased on the scene," said Jamieson.
He said the eThekwini Fire Department together with the South African Police Services and the metro police search and rescue unit had to use the jaws of life and other hydraulic equipment to free the man's body from the wreckage.
Jamieson added: "At this stage, the events leading up to the crash are unknown, however, SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further."

This is why you should NEVER buy an automatic car. You're worried that your wife cant drive or your parents are getting too old? I think we would all rather them Stall at a red robot, then plow thru a crowd/shop/off a roof because the car is moving on its own.

If you look carefully, the cars brake lights do not come on until its already hit the wall. This is a clear case of unexpected motion causing panic, resulting in the driver not being able to stay calm and use the only other pedal in the car..

You don't break down my similes you fucker. I'm better than you in every way imaginable anyway. The tone you use in your comments is pathetic. It must be quite a touching moment of respite when you reach 100 percent method acting and if just for a moment, truly feel like you've accomplished anything of importance in your life. Before reality hits you like a wave of emotions and you realize you'll never amount to anything more than defending nazis on the internet. I feel sorry for you. By the way OP said he wanted to eat my shit so...
