Seven people were injured last night after a light delivery vehicle rear-ended a truck on the N3 Highway near the Chatterton off-ramp in Pietermaritzburg.

On closers inspection, paramedics found the driver of the van, a 26-year-old man, lying trapped inside his vehicle.

Paramedics arrived on the scene and found the two vehicles on the side of the road.

Rescue technicians had to use specialised rescue equipment to free the man from the vehicle.

The patients were treated and thereafter transported to Mediclinic Pietermaritzburg and Northdale Provincial Hospital for further treatment.


Local authorities were on scene for further investigations.
