Bryce Moon crash victim 'mincemeat'

Johannesburg - A woman knocked down and killed, allegedly by Supersport United defender Bryce Moon, sustained severe pelvic injuries, the Randburg Magistrate's Court heard on Thursday.

Paramedic Matthew Watermeyer said the woman had an open cut from her belly button to her vagina.

"You could not tell which tissue was where... it was like mincemeat."

Watermeyer said he had only seen similar injuries at a skydiving accident and on a pedestrian hit by a bakkie at 140km/h on a highway.

Mavis Ncube was knocked down while walking to work in Sandhurst, Johannesburg, in 2009.

Watermeyer said when paramedics tried to wrap Ncube's pelvic area with a sheet to prevent further bleeding, her pelvis shrunk to about 10cm in diameter.

"And she was a rather large woman," he said.

He was surprised by her injuries as they were not those that could be sustained in a suburban area where the speed limit was 60km/h.

Watermeyer was the first paramedic to arrive at the accident scene.
