Paramedics said they have already attended to multiple collisions and advised motorists to be careful and leave earlier to reach their destination in time without rushing.

WITH a weather warning of thundershowers, which are expected to continue up until this evening, paramedics have urged motorists to be cautious.

Garrith Jamieson, ALS Paramedics spokesperson, said they have already responded to various accidents around the Durban area with multiple patients and entrapments.

He said that most of the accidents have happened in the normal common spots which are the M19, the M13 and the M7.

“I would advise motorists to leave a bit earlier to reach their destinations on time. Please make sure that your car is in good condition, including your windscreen wipers and your tyres.

“Motorists should also drive with their headlights on,” advised Jamieson.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
