“The vehicles obstructed most of the roadway and had collided in a rear-end format. Two people, a man and woman, were found severely entrapped in the wreckage. Advanced Life Support Paramedics quickly assessed them both and found that they showed no signs of life, and there was nothing more paramedics could do for them. They were both declared deceased on the scene.

“Two others sustained moderate injuries and were stabilised on the scene before being transported to a nearby Durban hospital. At this stage, the events leading up to the accident are unknown, however, SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further,” Jamieson said.

It has been a deadly week on the province’s roads.
