Two people were injured this morning, one of them critically, when a truck and trailer rolled on the N3 highway near the Mariannhill Toll Plaza in KwaZulu Natal.
ER24 paramedics, along with other services, arrived on the scene to find the wrecked vehicle in the middle the highway. One man was found lying next to the truck while another man was found being treated by another service.
Paramedics assessed the patients and found that one man had sustained numerous injuries and was in a critical condition. The second man was found with moderate injuries.
Paramedics treated the patients and provided the critically injured man with advanced life support interventions. Once treated, the critically injured man was airlifted by the AMS Medical
Helicopter to a nearby private hospital. The second man was transported by ambulance to the same hospital.
The details surrounding this incident are not yet known but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
