Shortly after 4pm Netcare 911 paramedics rushed to the scene of a horrific accident on Edwin Swales near the RTI testing grounds. On arrival paramedics found a 61 year old male slumped over his steering wheel. Paramedic Ceron Lennox ran to assess him however he had already passed away due to his injuries.

On investigating what had happened it was alledged that a bakkie had lost control on the Durban Bound carriage way and come across the centre medium and hit another Bakkie head on. Fortunately no one else was injured in the collision. It is unclear what caused the first vehicle to loose control but SAPS are investigating.
