ALS Paramedics on the scene of a serious crash on the N3 Pietermaritzburg.
Eight people have been injured in a crash on the N3 Pietermaritzburg bound carriageway, just before Shongweni in Durban.
It is believed that one of the vehicles involved in the crash was transporting employees to work.
The injured individuals have been transported to various hospitals in Durban for further medical care.
Advanced Life Support (ALS) spokesperson Garrith Jamieson says, “Paramedics arrived on the scene to find that two vehicles had collided before one vehicle overturned coming to rest on its roof in the centre median. One of the vehicles involved was carrying employees to work when the collision occurred. Multiple casualties were found with various injuries and immediately, more ALS Paramedics Ambulances and Advanced Life Support Paramedics were dispatched to assist.”
“A total of eight patients from both vehicles were treated on scene before being transported to various Durban Hospitals for the further care that they required. At this stage, the events leading up to the crash are unknown. However, SAPS were in attendance and will be investigating further,” adds Jamieson. -Reporting by Asanda Dlamini
