Investigating the accidents, deputy divisional traffic officer for South Central, Senior Superintendent Boiki Mojalemotho said both pedestrians are still hospitalised.
“The second pedestrian sustained serious head injuries and he is currently fighting for his life at Princess Marina Hospital. He is seriously injured and can’t speak, we are also yet to establish his age and what really transpired when he regains consciousness.
He was hit by a 53-year-old man who was driving a Toyota Corolla,” he said.
