An accident this morning on the N11outside
Newcastle KwaZulu Natal left one person dead.
It is believed that a truck collided with
another vehicle after the truck driver lost control of his vehicle.
ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said when
ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene; they found a light motor vehicle with a
trailer blocking one section of the road. A taxi which was on the trailer laid
crushed on the side of the road, while a truck lay on its side well alight.
Meiring said fire services battled the
blaze while paramedics treated the truck driver who sustained only minor
injuries. Once the blaze had been extinguished paramedics discovered that a
passenger in the truck had been burned to death.
No one from the light motor vehicle has
sustained any injuries.
The injured truck driver was transported to
Madadeni hospital for further observation. The exact details to the cause of
the accident will remain the subject of a police investigation.
