Four men were killed in a horror crash on the N2 near Port Shepstone on Saturday morning.
According to Kwazulu Private Ambulance Service, their emergency services arrived on scene and found that a bakkie had lost control and overturned.
“Paramedics quickly assessed the scene and found that one patient had sustained serious injuries,” said spokesperson Chantelle Botha.
“The patient was treated on scene before being transported to the hospital for further treatment.
“Sadly four occupants had sustained fatal injuries and had succumbed to their injuries before emergency services could arrive.”
The cause of the accident was not known and subject to an investigation by the South African Police Services (SAPS).
Last week one person was killed and one person critically injured in a horrific truck accident on Pine Street and Gardiner Street in Durban CBD.
“ALS Paramedics Medical Services arrived on the scene to find total carnage after a truck and a private passenger vehicle had collided in the intersection before the truck overturned,” said spokesperson Garrith Jamieson.
“Advanced Life Support Paramedics quickly assessed the scene and found that two males believed to be in there thirties had sustained major injuries and there was nothing more paramedics could do for them and they were both declared deceased on the scene.
“One person was found to be severely entrapped in his vehicle and Advanced Life Support Paramedics worked to stabilize the man in the vehicle while the Durban Fire Department used the Jaws of Life and other hydraulic equipment to try and extricate the patient. Once freed the man was loaded into an awaiting ambulance and rushed to a nearby Durban Hospital for the urgent care that he required.”
