There was mayhem in central Durban on Friday morning when several people suffered injuries in a multi-vehicle collision.
Emer-G-Med spokesperson Kyle van Reenen said the accident took place near the Umgeni railway station, close to the central business district.
“Paramedics were met with mayhem as a minibus taxi lay to its side occupying the width of the roadway.“Injured commuters were found clambering to safety and an on-scene triage area was established. “On further inspection one person was found to be entrapped and the jaws-of-life were used to free him,” said Van Reenen.
“Once stabilised, the injured were taken by various ambulances to nearby medical facilities for further care.”
