Just before 1am Rescue Care paramedics were called to the N3 Pinetown bound before spaghetti junction for a serious collision.
On arrival paramedics found three vehicles badly damaged across the freeway. They immediately assessed the injured and found one female patient had sustained critical injuries. Advanced Life Support intervention was needed and the patient was placed on a ventilator. Once freed from the wreckage paramedics worked for close to an hour to try and stabilize the critically injured lady. Once they had managed to stabilize the patient she was then rushed through to a nearby hospital for further care that she required.
It is unclear what caused the collision however SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further.
Traffic was severely affected as three lanes of the N3 was occupied by the damaged vehicles.
