Unfortunate car crash leaves infant and two adults dead
A seven-month old infant infant and her grandparents were instantly killed in a horror crash in Durban on Sunday.
The accident also caused serious injuries for five of the vehicle’s passengers.
According to reports gathered, the driver of a Toyota Hilux was a local businessman who was travelling with his wife and family members when the vehicle veered off the road near the notorious Nandi Drive on the N2 freeway.
This particular area is regarded as a high accident zone.
Life Response 24/7 in a statement said the infant, a 52-year-old woman and a 63-year-old man “sadly lost their lives.”
Paramedics who attended the scene found the vehicle had veered off the road and smashed into the steel support structure of an overhead signboard.
“Sadly there was nothing that could be done to help the infant, female and male. They were declared deceased at the scene,” the statement said.
Five other passengers in the vehicle suffered injuries, and three are currently in critical conditions.
“Advanced life support intervention was needed to stabilise them before there were transported by ambulances to receiving medical facilities.”
“The cause of the collision is unclear and will be the subject of a police investigation.”
