Four killed in separate KZN crashes, including baby
Three people have been killed in a collision involving a car and a taxi in the Greenwood Park area, north of Durban.
The vehicles crashed in the vicinity of Queen Nandi Drive and Rosary Road. Rescue Care's Garrith Jamieson says two men and a woman died on scene.
"Paramedics were busy resuscitating one woman from the car. Unfortunately, two men believed to be in their 20s had already passed away. One person had sustained moderate injuries and transported to hospital. After half an hour of trying to resuscitate the woman, she had passed away due to the severity of her injuries," he said.
