Hit and Run Incident
Dispatcher Files
Springs (Gauteng) – A AAA Response (TrackBox) Member activated his app to report a hit and run incident that had just occurred. A male pedestrian had been knocked over and the vehicle in question had fled the scene. I immediately dispatched @Netcare911. .
I then called Springs SAPS and informed them, providing them with location coordinates and the member on scene’s contact number. I called our member on scene afterwards to get an updated situation report as well as to let them know that an ambulance was on the way.
A short while later I received confirmation that both the ambulance and SAPS were on scene.
A road accident will be criminally investigated by the SAPS in the following instances:
- when a person has been killed (culpable homicide),
- when a person has been seriously injured,
- when a vehicle of a national or provincial government department has been involved in an accident or contributed to an accident,
- when it appears that a serious offence has been committed, and/or
- a written complaint is made by either a victim of the road accident, an eye-witness or a member of the community that an offence has been committed.
