A boy, believed to be 17-years-old, was killed and another boy, also believed to be 17-years-old, was left injured following a hit-and-run incident on Edendale Road in Henley Dam, KwaZulu-Natal.
ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene at 14h00 to find another service already in attendance.
On closer inspection, medics found the two patients lying down a small embankment some distance away from the road.
