More than 70 people have been hurt in an accident that involved two buses and a car on the N3 near Pietermaritzburg.
An SA Roadlink bus collided with a private bus and the car in the Merrivale area on the Durban-bound carriageway at around 7 ‘o clock last night.
“When we arrived there it was a daunting task for paramedics to treat and try and stabilise about 75 patients,” said Netcare 911’s Chris Botha.
He say they had to use the jaws of life to cut the SA Roadlink driver out of the wreckage.
In the end, one critical patient, 14 patients with serious injuries and 60 patients with minor injuries were taken to various hospitals in the ‘Maritzburg area.
In June, a SA Roadlink bus crashed near the Mariannhill Toll Plaza injuring more than 50 people.
