“On arrival, paramedics found multiple fire engines on the scene tackling the blaze. ALS Paramedics were shown to the driver who had sustained minor injuries. He was stabilized on the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital,” said Jamieson.

He said the cause of the fire was not yet known and would be investigated by the Durban Fire Department and SAPS.

The route was closed for emergency services to deal with the situation. Durban metro police have urged motorists to use alternative routes.
