Shortly before 8pm on the evening of 1 July 2017, paramedics from ER24 were called to the N2 south near the Umgubaba off ramp for a man that sustained a gunshot wound.
It is understood that the police noticed a vehicle on the side of the road and investigated. They found the man near his vehicle and called for paramedics. Sadly, there was nothing that paramedics could do for him and he was declared dead on the scene.
When paramedics departed the scene, they came across a pedestrian that was knocked down on the opposite side of the highway near the Umgubaba off ramp. A 33-year-old man was found lying on the side of the road with multiple injuries. He was treated on the scene for multiple fractures and abrasions before he was transported to a nearby hospital.
The vehicle that apparently collided with the pedestrian was not found on the scene when paramedics arrived. The exact circumstances surrounding the two incidents are not yet known. Police attended the scenes and will investigate.
