Investigation into fatal Durban crash
Authorities are investigating a crash on the N2 in Durban that claimed the lives of three people.
Six vehicles crashed on the northbound carriageway just after Spaghetti Junction yesterday afternoon.
Two people died on scene. Rescue Care says a third person died in hospital.
The freeway had to be closed for some time while the road was cleared.
KZN Emergency Medical Service's spokesperson Robert Mckenzie says medics battled to reach the vehicles involved.
''This crash severely affected the traffic flow. Impatient people decided to use the emergency lane to try and get past the scene. However, this severely affected EMS services.
''Emergency services had to fight their way through the traffic to the scene. So we would like to appeal to motorists to please not use the emergency lane as this does affect the EMS response to crashes,'' he said.
