Durban – A truck carrying brand new vehicles crashed along the N3 Durban-bound and lost its load, near the Pavillion Offramp just after Pinetown.
The vehicles were sprawled across the road, resulting in a pile-up involving several cars.
As a result, authorities closed the entire affected part of the N3.
ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson said the incident was reported at about 7 am “this morning”, Sunday 19 October 2025.
“The driver of the truck had sustained minor injuries and was treated on scene Jamieson said.
“Whilst this incident was being attended to, a four-vehicle pile-up occurred behind it, leaving two people injured.“
Jamieson said ALS Paramedics stabilised the two before transporting them to nearby hospitals for further care that they required.
Commenting on the incident, KwaZulu-Natal Transport and Human Settlements MEC Siboniso Duma, said he has dispatched a highly efficient team from the Road Traffic Inspectorate to the accident scene.
