Johannesburg - Three people died and three others were seriously injured when a truck and two cars collided in Durban on Saturday, said KwaZulu-Natal paramedics.
"Two women and a man died on the scene while a 16-year-old boy and two others sustained serious injuries," said ER24 spokesperson Vanessa Jackson.
A VW Caddy, a Hyundai Atos and an 18-wheeler truck crashed into each another on the Durban bound stretch of the N3 highway near Key Ridge.
The deceased were travelling in the VW, which lay in pieces across the road.
The local fire department had to use the jaws of life to free a woman and a man from the Atos.
They, together with the 16-year-old, who was a passenger in the VW, were taken to hospital for further treatment.
