N2 closed for emergency helicopter landing after major Ballito accident

One person died and four others were left in a critical condition after a head on collision on the N2 South bound just after the Ballito bridge at about 6am this morning.

“A black Toyota Tazz reportedly driving on the N2 North, crossed over onto the N2 South and crashed into the silver Toyota Fortuner,” said IPSS Medical Rescue paramedic Paul Herbst.

Two of the six passengers in the Toyota Fortuner were injured, while all three passengers in the Tazz were entrapped and had to be removed from the wreckage by the KwaDukuza fire department.

One of the three Tazz passengers died and the other two had to be intubated and put on ventilators by the advanced life support paramedics.

The N2 was temporarily closed, as a helicopter landed on the highway to airlift one of the passengers, but it is now open again.
All patients were transported to provincial hospitals.
