Van Reenen said advanced life support paramedics worked fervently to stabilise him whilst he was cut free using the jaws-of-life.

He said reports from the scene were that the man went into a state of cardiac arrest shortly after he was extricated and despite extensive resuscitation efforts, he was declared dead on the scene.
