A one-year-old boy is fighting for his life in a Durban hospital after a motor vehicle accident that also left his ten-year-old brother, mother and uncle seriously injured.
The car they were travelling in left Otto Volek Road, Pinetown in the vicinity of Shepstone Road this morning.
What caused the man behind the wheel to lose control of the vehicle remains unknown.
It is believed that he swerved violently from the roadway onto the grass verge before plummeting into a roadside storm drain which, fortunately for them, was empty at the time.
Netcare911 Paramedics attending the scene rushed to the aid of injured, and worked frantically to stabilise the critically injured infant.
