A motorist has been killed on the N3 in Durban near the Berea off-ramp heading towards Pinetown on Friday.
ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson said when they arrived on the scene they found the eThekwini fire department extinguishing a fire in the vehicle's engine bay.
He said the vehicle had extensive damage after smashing into the concrete wall.
“Once safe, paramedics assessed the driver, a male in his 40s, the only occupant of the vehicle. He had sustained major injuries and there was nothing paramedics could do for him and he was declared deceased on the scene.”
The events leading up to the crash are unknown, but SAPS and metro police were in attendance and will investigate.
