Video – Easter traffic clampdown plan<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n

Traffic authorities are bracing themselves for a surge in traffic as the Easter holiday draws near. Over the years, the holiday has been marred by high road fatalities.<\/span> WATCH<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Durban – Four people were killed and two others seriously injured after a head-on collision on the N3 in Durban, paramedics said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said a family of five were travelling along the N3 towards Pinetown at about 21:30 on Friday when their car collided with another vehicle.<\/p>\n

Some of the injured were trapped in the twisted metal of the vehicles, while a 2-year-old girl and her mother were ejected through the front window, Botha said.<\/p>\n

“Medics triaged the injured and found that the 2-year-old and three other family members died on impact. The mom was at the side of the road, several metres from the car and in a critical condition. The driver of the other vehicle was still trapped in the wreckage of his car – critically injured.”<\/p>\n

Botha said the Jaws of Life was used to free the people trapped inside the wreckage.<\/p>\n

The two people were placed on ventilators and transported to various hospitals, he said.<\/p>\n

In another accident in KwaZulu-Natal, five people were injured when their vehicle overturned on Saturday morning in Kwadengezi.<\/p>\n

Botha said the driver of the bakkie, carrying churchgoers, lost control and overturned throwing off five people from the back.<\/p>\n

Paramedics stabilised the people on the scene before they were transported to a nearby hospital, said Botha.<\/p>\n
