One person has been killed and one in a critical condition following a horrific accident on Sydenham Hill & Currie Road

Post by News »

Just before 14h30 on Friday afternoon.

ALS Paramedics Medical Services arrived on the scene to find total carnage after two vehicles had collided in the intersection before the one vehicle lost control and overturned multiple times down Sydenham Hill coming to rest on its roof.



The driver of the one vehicle was found severely entrapped in his vehicle. Paramedics quickly assessed the driver, a male believed to be in his early twenties however he had sustained fatal injuries and there was nothing more Paramedics could do for him and he was declared deceased on the scene.

His passenger was ejected from the vehicle while it was overturning down the hill. He had sustained critical injuries and Advanced Life Support Paramedics worked to stabilize the man before placing him on a manual ventilator.

Once stabilized the man was rushed through to a nearby Durban Hospital for the urgent treatment that he required.

The driver of the second vehicle was lucky and escaped with minor injuries

At this stage the events leading up to the accident are unknown however SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further.
