Man Killed, Woman injured in Umbilo Crash

Just before 2am this morning ALS Paramedics responded to a serious crash on Bowen Avenue in the Umbilo Area of Durban.

Paramedics arrived on the scene to find carnage as they found a bakkie had somehow flipped coming to rest against a electricity pole. Immediately the Ethekweni Fire Department was dispatched to assist at the scene. Paramedics found the driver a male believed to be in his sixties had been ejected from the wreckage on impact and sustained major injuries. Unfortunately there was nothing Paramedics could do for him and he was declared deceased on the scene. The man's wife was still found inside the wreckage with serious injuries and once stabilized she was carefully extricated from the vehicle and loaded into an awaiting ALS Ambulance. She was then transported to a nearby Hospital for the further care that she required. 

At this stage the events leading up to the crash is unknown however SAPS were in attendance and will be investigating further.
