“One person, a woman, believed to be in her 40s, was in a critical condition. Advanced Life Support Paramedics worked to stabilise her on scene, however, despite their attempts, her injuries were too severe and she went into cardiac arrest and was declared deceased on the scene,” said Jamieson.
He said three other people sustained injuries that ranged from minor to moderate. They were all stabilised on scene before they were transported to a nearby Durban hospital.
SAPS were on scene and will be investigating.
