Two plates were inserted for the fracture and her teeth had been pushed out of place by the impact of the rock.TimesLIVE is aware that a pilot was also struck on the head by an object on the airport road and is in his second week receiving medical treatment in ICU.
“I was in such shock that I kept driving and didn’t realise I had been hit until about a minute later when I was calling my parents in a panic.“I got to the airport parking and the police took me to the paramedics to get bandaged so I could go to the hospital in Stellenbosch with my mom.
