Just after 3pm on Monday afternoon ALS Paramedics responded to numerous calls of a shooting incident as well as a accident involving SAPS and alleged suspects on Underwood Road just off the M13 in Pinetown West of Durban.
Paramedics arrived on the scene to find SAPS had closed off the entire roadway. Paramedics found multiple vehicles damaged some with bullet holes and others after the crash. The scene was over a short distance and Paramedics assessed the scene.
A Truck that was allegedly driven by a suspect had collided head on into a SAPS vehicle whilst being chased by other SAPS members. The truck was found badly damaged as a result of the crash as well as bullet holes. The driver had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body and was stabilized on the scene by Advanced Life Support Paramedics before being transported to hospital under Police Guard.
A vehicle with a family on their way home were also involved in the crash and five occupants had sustained minor to moderate injuries and were treated on scene by ALS Paramedics before being transported to a nearby Hospital for the further care that they required.
The exact circumstances leading up to this incident will be investigated by SAPS.

A suspect driving a stolen truck went on the rampage this afternoon, apparently after a disagreement with his employer.
The Malawian man – a truck driver – rammed into several cars and a pedestrian during his wild ride.
