On Tuesday evening at 19h46 Netcare 911 paramedics responded to a pedestrian collision on the N3 between Ortman rd. and the Church street off ramp in Pietermaritzburg. Reports from the scene indicate that the man was running away from attackers when he landed in front of a truck.
Exact detail to the cause of the collision however will remain a subject for the South African Police to investigate.
Paramedics arrived on the Johannesburg bound carriageway and found the man lying in the roadway. Tragically, he died before our arrival due to the extensive injuries that he sustained.
