One man sustained serious injuries and was declared dead on scene while three other occupants sustained minor injuries.

A SINGLE vehicle crash claimed the life of a man in his 30s last night (Friday, February 20).

According to ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson, the serious single vehicle crash happened on the M13 Pinetown bound before Gillits off-ramp west of Durban.

“Paramedics arrived on the scene to find that a single vehicle had somehow lost control and rolled numerous times, coming to rest on its roof.

He added that the deceased was found to have sustained major injuries and  there was nothing paramedics could do for him, and he was declared deceased on the scene.

“The three other occupants sustained minor injuries.”

The events leading up to the crash are unknown, and SAPS will be investigating.

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.
