A vehicle hurtled through a busy restaurant window in Morningside, Durban, in a serious collision on the corner of Sandile Thusi Road and Seventh Avenue in Morningside at about 10:30 today.

A total of nine people, including adults and children, sustained injuries ranging from minor to serious as the vehicle tore through the restaurant.

“The exact cause of the collision is unknown, however, a vehicle crashed through a local restaurant that was extremely busy with multiple families socialising,” said Garrith Jamieson of ALS Paramedics which arrived on the scene along with Netcare 911 and Emer-G-Med Paramedics.

Jamieson said further ambulances were requested immediately after triage was done. Patients were stabilised on scene before being transported to various Durban hospitals for the further care that they required.

SAPS were on scene and will be investigating further.

This incident comes just hours after 11 people were injured in a taxi crash this morning at about 07:30 in Umbilo.
