High-impact collision: multiple killed, multiple critical - N2 Zinkwazi
IPSS Medical Rescue, together with various other services, are standing off at a serious high-impact collision on the N2, Northbound, vicinity Zinkwazi.
Two vehicles collided head-on, resulting in one of the vehicles bursting into flames.
Unfortunately two persons burnt to death whilst a third person was ejected from their vehicle and has passed away. A further two are critical and a two more sustained moderate injuries.
The N2 Northbound is closed to traffic and being diverted.

That stretch of freeway between Zinkwazi and Mandeni without median barriers is proving to be a high accident zone
The impatience of one driver has yet again lead to the injury and loss of life to the innocent. Our roads are proving to be horrendous lanes of death.
Condolences to the families. May God be with the IPSS response teams during the Easter weekend 🙏
So sad, Traveling north bound, the left lane is so poorly repaired you have to drive on the right lane. It's almost like small speed bumps. We pay exorbitant toll fees for bad roads and no barriers.
Powerful engines makes drivers think they're invincible. Patience, Consideration and Obeying the Rules of the Road, seem to be non existent, resulting in innocent people dying.
Too much accidents happening on this Zinkwazi stretch, and so many lives have been lost. it must be regarded as a High Accident Zone... This stretch needs a cleansing ceremony or what so ever related.... My condolences to the mourning families 😢😢😢😢
Condolences to the families who lost loved ones in this horrific accident 😥 Thank you IPSS for you all do! Was sitting in the traffic today with so many individuals using the yellow lane and saw how four IPSS vehicles struggled to get to the scene due to this.
Rip condolances to the famalies may the injured recover time the law enforcement and road traffic authorities got together and did something consructive about this section of road ideally a fence in the centre would be the answer funds and time law enforcement needs to be seen during these times in days gone by the presence of a blue light had motorists behaving
Its very sad because we where behind theres vehicles 😭😭so many accidents today I'm even struggling to sleep. 😭😭
The biggest solution to these accidents is that government should not allow vehicle that are capable of driving over 120km per hour. And make it standard to all cars that maximum speed limit in South Africa 🇿🇦 is 100km/h no matter what road you driving. This will help reduce accidents on the road. We don’t need any car capable of reaching a speed over 120 km per hour.
Oh no - 😥. Take it easy if you have to travel on the roads - enough sadness in this last year to last us a life time. Condolenses to all their loved ones. 🙏
Roads need barriers there’s to much traffic
And it’s just the beginning of Easter weekend 😢
Big up to Ipss response so fast,, condolences to those families,, Bt guys if u still on the road take its slow be patient each other
Always 😭 oh God let people drive with more patience.
This highway should be closed completely up until the road is repaired
And still people drive like hooligans on the N2. I fear for my son s life as he travels this road daily 🤬
Why always on that road?
These latest cars are being driven at the speed of 150 to 170 in the N2 and it seems its the normal speed nawadays
Is that stretch between zinkwazi and mandeni haunted or what?
Why always on this stretch of road.
Condolences to their families who were waiting for them to spend the weekend😢
Oh hhe ingane yam ayikafiki bakith
This is so sad and so the carnage on the roads start 😭😭😭
Too sad condolences to the family roads definitely need barriers

Zero sympathy for a child killer. He was on borrowed time as is.
It’s only getting worse..... thank you to all those first responders for your efforts and bravery. If only our country would do something about this industry and it’s violence we wouldn’t have to send first responders to such dangerous situations.
Good riddance

What to do - calling for help: water emergencies
The Easter holiday period often brings with it an increase in water related emergencies. Here are some tips around calling for help during such an emergency:
- trust your intuition: if you believe somebody is in trouble, take decisive action to take action
- call IPSS Medical Rescue on 0823 911 911, we will set all required services into motion
- maintain visuals on the person(s) in distress and identify landmarks as points of reference - people move in water
- remain available on the number used to contact emergency services - time is valuable, be specific with info
- it is not advisable for members of the public to enter the water to attempt rescues, unless capable of such functions
Our crews are on stand-by for all emergencies. Happy holidays.
