1 Nov 2017, Durban: One person has been killed and five others seriously injured after two vehicles collided on Bluff Road and Old Mission Road on Tuesday evening just after 6pm.

Rescue Care Paramedics were called to the scene to find the badly damaged vehicles in the junction. The two vehicles had collided in a T Bone Format. A teenage who was believed to be on the rear of a bakkie was found some distance from the wreckage with critical injuries.

He was stabilised on the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital. One man was severely entrapped in the wreckage and Durban Fire Department had to use the Jaws Of Life to free him from the wreckage.

Once freed he was stabilised by Advanced Life Support Paramedics and transported to a nearby hospital for further care. Unfortunately, a short while later due to the severity of his injuries the man went into cardiac arrest. Despite resuscitation efforts the man passed away.

A further four people from both vehicles had sustained moderate injuries and were also stabilised on scene by Advanced Life Support Paramedics before being transported to various Durban Hospitals for the further care that they required.

At this stage the exact cause of the collision is unknown however SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further.
