A light motor vehicle drove through a fence and crashed into house on the corners of College and Alexander in Pietermaritzburg and left two men dead and two others injured.

ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said on assessment, paramedics found four occupants lying motionless inside the vehicle. Paramedics found that the male driver had already succumbed to his multiple fatal injuries.

Meiring said three other patients in the vehicle had sustained critical injuries in the collision. Paramedics carefully removed to patients, treated them and provided them with advanced life support interventions.

“Once treated, the three patients were transported to Mediclinic Pietermaritzburg and Edendale hospital for urgent medical treatment. Unfortunately, upon arrival at Mediclinic, one of the critically injured patients succumbed to his injuries. Fortunately no-one from the house sustained any injuries” Meiring added.
