Four people lost their lives in two accidents on local roads.

This morning a 48-year-old pedestrian sustained fatal injuries after being hit by a taxi on the N2 near Ballito.

IPSS Medical Rescue paramedics responded, but the man was declared dead at the scene.

Last night three people, including a young child, died when the car they were travelling in was involved in a collision on the R74 link road between Stanger and the N2.

According to IPSS spokesperson Samantha Meyrick, witnesses said the car was T-boned when turning across the road.

The driver of the second vehicle was seriously injured and taken to hospital for further treatment.
