Durban - A woman was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after her car crashed into a concrete barrier and burst into flames on Saturday morning.
The woman was driving at the intersection of Randles Road and Stanley Copley Drive around 3am, when her car crashed into a robot and then a concrete barrier.
Rescue Care's Garrith Jamieson said the woman's car burst into flames seconds later.
"When we arrived at the scene, we found the car lying on its side. Durban Fire Department arrived quickly and extinguished the blaze. Medics rushed to stabilise the critically injured woman before she was rushed to a nearby hospital for further care," he said.
Jamieson said they had also responded to another crash earlier in the morning in Malvern.
"Just after 1am, a man was critically injured in a head-on collision between his car and a truck, on the M7 West Bound near the Bellville offramp," he said.

According to Jamieson, the car driver had sustained critical injuries.
"Advanced Life Support paramedics worked to stabilise the man by putting him on a manual ventilator on the scene. Once stabilised he was then rushed through to a nearby Hospital for the further care that he required. The truck occupants escaped with minor injuries," he said.
Police are investigating further.
