Durban ( Inanda ) M25 Durban Bound near the Inanda SAPS station at 14h25 on the 1 September 09

Two pedestrians are dead after been struck by a light motor vehicle this afternoon. It is alleged that the two were crossing the M25 in Inanda when the incident occurred. When ER24 paramedics arrived, they discovered the two patients in a small side road surrounded by members of the community. Both patients were pronounced deceased with multiple fatal injuries.

It is alleged that the driver of the vehicle came around a gentle bend in the road and struck the pedestrians, dragging them a short distance before they tumbled on to the side road. The driver then regained control of his vehicle which was by now across the medium in on coming traffic. The vehicle came to a halt approximately 100m down the road. There was extensive damaged to the front of the vehicle.

The patients have yet to be identified. SAPS and RTI will question the driver and are investigating the accident.
