At around 11:30am Sunday morning, the 111 ambulance operations center received multiple calls about a motor vehicle incident on the Hiri-Tano Hwy about 100m west of Laloki hospital.
Five ambulances, including a paramedic unit, and two emergency nurse units were dispatched to the scene.
A total of 7 patients required treatment including four with serious injuries.
All patients were transported to Port Moresby General Hospital. A total of 4 patients were the transported to hospital by St John and 3 by ambulance of Laloki hospital.
However, it was frustrating for ambulance crews when bystanders forcefully remove patients from a vehicle that are trapped.
People can die as a result of worsened injuries when bystanders try to remove patients from a vehicle.
Leave the patients in place until ambulance professionals are at the scene.
