Three occupants of a car died and one was hospitalised after they crashed into an articulated truck at the Alton intersection on the John Ross Parkway this morning.
They had been travelling towards Empangeni and the truck, coming from opposite direction on the highway, was turning right towards the port (Bayside).
Using the jaws of life, City Fire & Rescue personnel battled for more than an hour to extract the bodies of the victims.
The names of the deceased are being withheld.
