Fatal N3 crash: Truck driver still on the run

The KZN Department of Transport says the truck driver allegedly fled the scene after two trucks and a taxi collided on the Durban-bound carriageway in the vicinity of Westville.

Five people who’d been travelling in the taxi died on scene - while the driver of that vehicle died in hospital. 

Transport’s Kwanele Ncalane says they’ve been in contact with the owner of the truck whose driver - believed to be a foreign national - fled the scene.
