News24 reports that a person died and two others were injured in a chemical explosion at a factory in Jacobs, south of Durban, on Monday.
Garrith Jamieson of ALS Paramedics said their paramedics arrived on the scene around 12:45 "to find chaos". He went on to say: "They found that some sort of chemicals had exploded, leaving three people injured, two critically so." One man went into cardiac arrest while paramedics were attending to him, and he died on scene. Two other patients sustained moderate injuries and were stabilised on scene. They were then transported to various Durban hospitals for the urgent care that they required. Jamieson said the cause of the explosion was not yet known and authorities were investigating.
