Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A Free State ambulance overturned while transporting a 9-month-old baby and her mother on Monday afternoon, after it hit a pothole on the N8 near Tweespruit.<\/p>\n

The vehicle landed on its side, Free State health department spokesperson Mondli Mvambi said.<\/p>\n

The ambulance had been transferring the infant from Sen\u0303orita Ntlabathi District Hospital in Ladybrand to Pelonomi Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein.<\/p>\n

Both emergency medical services staff in the ambulance were injured in the crash and they were taken to Sen\u0303orita Ntlabathi District Hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

The baby and her mother were transported to Pelonomi Academic Hospital in another ambulance.<\/p>\n

“The mother complained of hand and neck pain after the accident. She’s currently at Pelonomi [Academic Hospital’s] trauma [unit], receiving medical care. The baby is fine without any injuries,” Mvambi added.<\/p>\n
