One person lost their life while a further 12 were injured in an accident on the R68 between Melmoth and Nkandla this morning (Tuesday).

KwaZulu Private Ambulance paramedics responded to the scene, where they stabilised the patients before transporting them to a nearby hospital for further medical care.

Emergency medical treatment was performed on two critically injured patients, as well as 10 others who sustained serious injuries.
