One person has been killed and several others injured following a crash between a truck and a broken-down vehicle on the N2 just before the KwaMashu highway in Durban.

It is believed that mechanics were trying to repair the vehicle in the emergency lane when a truck lost control and rammed into them.

Emer-G-Med spokesperson Kyle van Reneen says a male approximately forty years of age was found to have sustained fatal injuries and was declared dead on arrival of paramedics.
