SIX people were injured after a truck and a car collided at the intersection of Clark Road and Manning Road this afternoon.
Rescue Care operations director, Garrith Jamieson said paramedics arrived on the scene to find that a truck and a car had collided in the junction before the truck came to rest on its side balancing on the wall of a property.
“The truck driver and one assistant were severely entrapped in the truck as it lay on its side. Paramedics climbed into the truck and stabilised the two whilst Durban Fire and Rescue prepared the jaws of life and other hydraulic equipment to free the two,”explained Jamieson.
Once the patients had been freed from the truck they were then transported to a nearby hospital for the further care. The other assistant on the truck who was injured was also transported to hospital. In the second vehicle three people had sustained various injuries and were also stabilised on the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital.
Jamieson said at this stage it is unclear what caused the collision however SAPS were on scene and will be investigating further.
