Durban - A man was killed and three others injured, after a car hit a tree in Phoenix near Durban on Friday, KwaZulu-Natal paramedics said.
Netcare 911 spokesman Chris Botha said it was unclear how the accident happened.
When they arrived on the scene, paramedics found that a man had died and some people were trapped in the wreckage, Botha said.
“(A) critically injured man was placed on a ventilator at the scene and… transported to the Nkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital for specialised care that he required,” Botha said in a statement.
Two seriously injured patients were stabilised before taken to a nearby hospital.
Botha said police would investigate the cause of the accident. - Sapa
