Just after 10 am this morning ALS Paramedics responded to a multi-vehicle and truck collision on the M7 Durban Bound at the N2 Robots. Paramedics arrived on the scene to find chaos as multiple vehicles were strewn across the lanes including a truck carrying corn lying on its side.
Paramedics requested more resources be dispatched and began treating the truck driver who was still inside his truck. A total of approximately ten patients had sustained various injuries and they were stabilized on the scene by various Ambulances before being transported to various Durban Hospitals for the further care that they required.
The Pinetown bound carriageway was closed due to the truck lying on its side with a load of corn spilled across all the lanes.
It is alleged that the truck travelling towards Bluff lost control and ploughed into the vehicles however SAPS, RTI, and Metro Police were on the scene and will be investigating further.
