Forty-five people were injured when three minibus taxis collided on the M4 south near the M7 off-ramp just after 4pm on Saturday afternoon, Rescue Care spokesman Garrith Jamieson said.
Rescue Care paramedics arrived on the scene to find the freeway blocked by accident damaged vehicles, he said.
"One patient, a male, was trapped in the front seat of one of the taxis. Immediately Durban fire department, more ambulances, and advanced life support paramedics were called to assist with the multiple casualty scene."
In a separate collision earlier on Saturday, 10 people sustained various injuries when a minibus taxi and a car collided on the N2 northbound near Umgababa, south of Durban.
"Just after 11.20am Rescue Care paramedics were called to the scene to find that a taxi and a car had collided. More ambulances were called to assist. Once all of the injured had been stabilised on the scene they were transported to various Durban hospitals for the further care that they required."
