A worker who was crushed by two heavy goods vehicles in Durban's suburb of Redhill this afternoon has died in hospital.
Crisis Medical, who were on the scene on Peters Road earlier, say according to bystanders, the man believed to have been in his 30s had been working on one of the trucks when the parking brakes failed causing it to roll forward.
Paramedics found him pinned between two heavy goods vehicles.
They had to place him on a mechanical ventilator to help him breath before extricating him.
He was rushed to hospital where he later died.
