KwaZulu Private Ambulance spokesperson Craig Botha said their paramedics arrived to find two patients with serious injuries requiring immediate medical intervention.

“The team’s swift assessment and stabilisation protocols proved crucial in what could have been a far more tragic outcome. Both patients were successfully stabilised and transported under emergency conditions to hospital facilities equipped to handle their complex injuries,” said Botha.

The investigation into the exact cause of the vehicle’s loss of control continues, with authorities working to determine the cause of the accident.
