Paramedics were being hindered from accessing victims of the crash by people attempting to loot the beer from the overturned truck.
Three people died and two were seriously injured when a beer truck and two other cars were involved in an accident on the N2 between Zinkwazi and Stanger in KZN on Saturday morning.
According to IPSS Medical Rescue spokesperson Paul Herbst, paramedics access to the victims of the crash is being hindered by people attempting to loot the beer from the overturned truck.
“Seven [people] have been affected, three of which have lost their lives. A further two patients are critical whilst two more are in a serious condition.
“IPSS Medical Rescue advanced life support paramedics are working to manage the scene which is being hampered by looters who are ridding the truck of its cargo,” said Herbst.
