A Durban man was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition after a single-motor vehicle crash in Durban’s Queen Nandi Drive on Saturday morning.
Emer-G-Med paramedics said they responded to the scene and saw that a car had crashed into an armco barrier before overturning and coming to a rest on the central median.
Spokesperson Kyle van Reenen said a male passenger in his late 20s had been ejected and was found on the roadside with severe injuries.
“Advanced Life Support intervention was needed to stabilise him before a decision was made to airlift him with the assistance of the Netcare 911 aeromedical helicopter to a specialist facility,” said Van Reenen.
He said the driver suffered moderate injuries and was treated and stabilised at the scene before being taken to a nearby hospital.
The road was closed to let the helicopter land.
