ALS Paramedic's Garrith Jamieson says seven people suffered various injuries. 

"Paramedics arrived on scene to find that a single vehicle had somehow lost control and rolled numerous times, coming to rest on its wheels. Paramedics found multiple patients and immediately called for more resources, as well as the Durban Fire Department. 

"After a quick triage, it was established that there were seven occupants in the vehicle. One male believed to be in his forties had sustained major injuries, and unfortunately, there was nothing paramedics could do for him, and he was declared deceased on the scene.

"Six other occupants had sustained injuries ranging from moderate to serious, and they were stabilised on the scene by ALS Paramedics before being transported to various Durban Hospitals for the further care that they required.”
