This morning paramedics from KZN Emergency Medical Services were dispatched to an accident on the N3 north in the Nottingham area.
The accident involved a single truck which overturned on the roadway, which resulted in the road having to be closed. There was one patient who was seriously injured and treated by the paramedics from KZN EMS on scene before being transported to hospital for further care.
When the truck overturned it resulted in the trailer splitting open and the contents which was general housed hold groceries landed on the road. This resulted in chaos as local community members and passing motorists rushed onto the scene to try and collect some of the lost load.
The cause of the accident and the events preceding it are subject to police investigation and comment
