About 15:40hrs he subsequently returned to the said hospital complaining of pains about his body and was further seen and examined by a doctor on duty who admitted him a patient in a stable condition.
Both drivers have been arrested after breathalyzer tests returned zero readings.
Further enquiries are in progress.
