Durban – A truck driver was injured in a single vehicle accident on Cascade Road in Rennies Beach on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast on Tuesday.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Shawn Herbst said the accident happened just after 12pm on Tuesday afternoon.
Herbst said Netcare 911 responded to the incident.
“The driver, an adult male, also the only occupant on board was ejected in the process,” he said.
He said the truck then came to rest on its side, trapping the driver under the door.
“Workers at a close by construction site, who heard cries for help, ran to the man’s aid,”said Herbst.
According to Herbst, a Bobcat (loading machine) was used by the workers to lift the cab of the truck to free him.
“When medics arrived on scene, the patient was found to have moderate injuries and was treated on scene by an advanced life support paramedic,” he said.
Herbst said once the driver was stabilised, he was transported by paramedics to a hospital for further care.
