Several KwaZulu-Natal road motorists were left injured in crashes around the province at the weekend.
On Saturday night, an oil truck driver, believed to be in his 40s, sustained minor injuries on the N3 between Mooi River and Nottingham Road at approximately 10pm.
ER24 medical services spokesperson Annine Siddall said in a statement the driver lost control of the truck and crashed into an open field.
“At the time of their arrival, paramedics found the driver outside of the burning truck.”
The man, said Siddall, had been treated for a wound to his hand.
He did not want to be transported to hospital.
Also on Saturday night, six people were injured in an accident in Chatsworth.
Earlier on Saturday, Garrith Jamieson of Rescue Care said the service had responded to an accident involving several vehicles on the N3 near Warwick Junction.
Fifteen people had also been injured in a taxi crash on the N3 before Alice Street, he said.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, there were also several serious crashes.
Rescue Care responded to a scene at the corner of Stalwart Simelane (Stanger) and Dr Pixley KaSeme (West) Streets and another in Francois and Umbilo Road where those involved were injured.
Three people were injured in another crash on the Dinkelman Highway before Clermont, and two more in a crash on Higginson Highway.
