It's been a busy weekend for emergency services across the province.
At least four people were killed on KwaZulu-Natal's roads in various crashes last night.
Two people were killed in Compensation near Ballito on the north coast when a truck and a car collided on the R102.
IPSS Medical Rescue's Paul Herbst says the driver and passenger of the car died on scene.
''Upon arrival, our rescue teams found that both the passenger and the driver had succumbed to their injuries and were declared dead by advanced life support paramedics.
''The KwaDukuza Fire Department had to use the jaws of life to extricate both victims from the vehicle. The driver of the truck sustained no injuries,'' he said.
Meanwhile, a man was killed in a separate accident on the N3 in Pietermaritzburg last night.
