Just before 7am this morning Rescue Care paramedics were called to a serious accident at the corner of Berea Road and Botanic Gardens Road in Durban.
On arrival paramedics found that a bus that had been coming down Berea Road had failed to stop colliding with five vehicles in the junction. Vehicles had been strewn across the intersection with one overturning after impact. Paramedics from various services immediately began treating the injured people from all of the vehicles involved. More ambulances were called as a total of sixteen people had sustained various injuries with three sustaining serious injuries. Once all of the injured had been stabilized they were transported to various Durban hospitals for the further care that they required.
At this stage it is unclear what caused the bus to collide with the vehicles however SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further.
Traffic was severely affected for over an hour whilst emergency personal worked to clear the accident scene.
