Durban ( Westville ) Pitlockery road near to the Westville University

A family of three have been injured after a head on collision this afternoon on Pitlockery road in Westville involving two light motor vehicles.

ER24 Medicopter Ground Support Unit who was the first to arrive on the scene, found one of the cars facing up the road while the second one was across the lane, almost blocking the road to traffic.

Under closer examination three people in the golf, a mother and two daughters were found to be the ones injured. The driver was treated for serious injuries, while the two daughters were treated for minor to moderate injuries.

All three were stabilised on scene and transported to Life Entabeni Hospital for further medical treatment.

The driver of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries and would take herself and her four year old daughter to the local doctor for further medical treatment if need be.

It is unclear what caused the driver to lose control but SAPS were on scene and a full investigation would be done into the accident.
