1 Killed and 6 injured in collision in Durban CBD

One person has been killed and six others injured after a serious collision on the corner of Leopald Street and Grey Street on Sunday afternoon.

Just after 5pm Rescue Care Paramedics arrived on scene to find chaos. Three vehicles had collided in the junction before losing control and colliding into two pedestrians on the road side. One pedestrian had sustained critical injuries and Advanced Life Support worked to stabilise her on the scene. She was placed on a manual ventilator on the scene. Unfortunately her condition deteriorated and the patient went into cardiac arrest. Unfortunately despite Paramedics attempt at resuscitation the patient passed away. A further six people had sustained various injuries and were also stabilised on the scene before being transported to various Hospitals for further care.

At this stage the exact cause of the collision is unknown however SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further.
