Two people were killed on Monday morning when two trucks collided head-on on the N2 in Nkwazi in northern KwaZulu-Natal. 

IPSS medical rescue's Samantha Meyrick said their paramedics are attending to the active scene where three critically injured patients are entrapped.

"KwaDukuza municipality fire department and a rural metro fire department are working to extricate them. 

“The northbound lane remains completely closed, with one lane opened southbound and traffic is being directed.

"Unfortunately one of the trucks was carrying alcohol which is causing traffic to build-up in the area,” Meyrick said. 

She said the truck carrying alcohol was being looted.
