10 hurt in Kloof taxi crash
10 people are receiving treatment following a crash between a taxi and a truck on the M13 in Kloof, west of Durban.
Reports from the scene suggest the taxi crashed into the back of the truck which had stopped in the emergency lane.
Paramedics found the taxi driver and front passenger trapped in the vehicle.
They both had to be cut from the wreckage using the jaws of life. ER24 says injuries ranged from minor to moderate.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.
Meanwhile, a man is lucky to be alive after being crushed by a bus in Sea Cow Lake, north of Durban yesterday evening.
The mechanic had been conducting routine maintenance on the vehicle when it slipped off its stands.
The man was pinned between the rear axle and the body of the bus.
Crisis Medical says he sustained severe crush injuries and was stabilised on scene before being taken to hospital.
