WATCH: Scores injured after fully-laden taxi overturns on KZN north coast

From a trapped duiker to a woman needing to be airlifted to hospital after trying to save a cat, it’s all in a day’s work for KZN emergency teams

ER24 spokesperson, Russel Meiring, said when emergency teams arrived at the scene, they found a wrecked bakkie and a light motor vehicle in the middle of the road. "On closer inspection, medics found four adults and an 8-month-old child lying trapped inside the light motor vehicle. Unfortunately, all five patients had already succumbed to their numerous injuries. Nothing could be done for them, and they were declared dead," he said.

Meiring said seven other patients, including another 8-month-old baby, were found with injuries ranging from minor to critical. "Medics treated the patients and provided the critically injured with advanced life support intervention. Once treated, various services transported the patients to nearby hospitals for urgent care," he said.
