ALS paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson says four others suffered moderate to serious injuries.
"One of the drivers was in a critical condition and Advanced Life Support Paramedics worked to stabilise him on the scene by placing him on a ventilator before rushing him to the Ahmed Al-Kadi Private Hospital for the urgent care that he required.
"The remaining patients were stabilised on scene before being transported to various Durban hospitals for further care. The truck driver was uninjured."
