A head-on collision on the R622 Greytown Road in KwaZulu-Natal has claimed the lives of 11 people, including a Michaelhouse school pupil and his parents.
Midlands EMS said emergency services were dispatched to the scene on Saturday.
“Eleven people showed no signs of life and were declared deceased. A 12-year-old male, the sole survivor from one of the vehicles, was found in critical condition. He was placed on a manual ventilator and rushed to a specialist hospital for further care. Another person also sustained serious injuries and required urgent medical attention,” said Midlands EMS.
Michaelhouse said in a post on the school Facebook page on Saturday: “We are devastated to have to inform our Michaelhouse community that one of our grade 8 boys ... died in a car accident this afternoon, along with his parents.
“He was travelling home from a Sevens rugby event at Wembley College in his parents’ car along with his parents and his younger brother who has been transported in a critical condition to hospital.”
