KWAZULU-NATAL. – One person is dead and another seriously injured in a collision between two vehicles on Saturday evening at approximately 22:00 on the Sweetwaters road in Pietermaritzburg. Two occupants of a bakkie were trapped in the vehicle following the collision.
Craig Botha of KwaZulu Private Ambulance (KZPA) says paramedics found one of the bakkie's occupants had sustained life-threatening injuries and was stabilised at the scene. The second occupant died from injuries before emergency services could arrive. Medical teams together with the fire department used specialised rescue equipment to free the injured occupants from the bakkie. The occupant of the second vehicle apparently left the scene.
