An elderly woman is in a stable condition at the Durbanville Mediclinic after suffering what is believed to have been a heart attack in the parking area outside De Kelder Restaurant at the Vredekloof Shopping Centre on Friday night.

The drama unfolded after Elmari Walters (62), was trapped unconscious in her locked car, after the heart attack. According to bystanders, the attack occurred as she reversed out of her parking bay at about 20:00. She first bumped into another car and then lost consciousness behind the steering wheel. An alert security guard witnessed the incident and along with other bystanders had to smash in the windscreen to free Walters from the car. According to another eyewitness who wants to remain anonymous, a young nurse whose name is unknown to TygerBurger was dining at De Kelder restaurant when the accident occurred. After hearing the commotion, she rushed outside and immediately started to perform emergency Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on Walters, until the paramedics arrived minutes later. Paramedics vigorously continued with CPR for approximately another 30 minutes, before transporting a stabilised Walters to hospital. Police were forced to cordon off the area as spectators quickly gathered outside to catch a glimpse of the rescue. Earlier the evening Walters was seen at Jannie’s Pub where she played a few games at the gambling machines. “She did not appear to be ill at all and still made a few jokes before she left,” a staff member at Jannie’s Pub told TygerBurger. At about 20:50 Walters was finally stabilised and transported to the Durbanville Mediclinic, with her family in tow. The Durbanville Mediclinic confirmed that Walters was admitted to the hospital but refrained from further comment.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM BACK PAIN? A typical response to experiencing back pain is to take it easy - either staying in bed or at least stopping any activity that is at all strenuous. While this approach is understandable and may even be recommended in the short term, when done for more than a day or two it can actually undermine healing. Instead, active forms of back exercises are almost always necessary to rehabilitate the spine and help alleviate back pain.
