In a spate of twelve hours yesterday in the greater Pietermaritzburg area, paramedics from ER24 were kept busy during the down poor of rain. ER24 responded to numerous accidents which had multiple injuries.
Here are some rundowns of where the accidents took place.

Paramedics arrived on the scene to find both vehicles in the middle of the road and two patients in each vehicle. The patients had sustained minor to moderate injuries and transported to Edendale Hospital.

A collision involving two taxi’s left both drivers in a serious condition. The incident occurred on Edendale road near Taylors Halt. Both driver were mechanically entrapped and needed specialised equipment to extricate them. While paramedics were transporting the patients to Edendale Hospital, paramedics were called to a second accident that had taken place at the same location. A driver of the light motor vehicle did not see the first accident until the last the last minute. He slammed on brakes and swerved to avoid a collision. Unfortunately he mounted the curb and struck a pedestrian. The patient sustained minor injuries and was transported to hospital for further medical care.
