THREE men were seriously injured when a bakkie they were travelling in overturned on the M13 west-bound carriageway near the Village Road turn-off near Durban yesterday morning.

The bakkie had been towing an extended trailer with a payload of Armco roadside barriers.

Netcare 911's Jeff Wicks said: "It is alleged that the driver of the vehicle lost control after the trailer began to snake violently, causing the bakkie to overturn and skid to a halt at the road shoulder beneath a pedestrian foot bridge." - Khulekani Mazibuko
