3 killed, 6 injured in weekend crashes in Phoenix
Six people are in recovery after being hurt in two separate collisions that left three others dead in Durban.
Both accidents happened in Phoenix over the weekend.
In Sunday night's crash, paramedics say a car appears to have veered off the road at the intersection of Canehaven and JG Champion drives.

On Saturday night, a car overturned on the M41 Phoenix off-ramp, killing one person.
Naidoo says the fire department had to extricate the victim from the car.
"One patient was sadly declared deceased on scene whilst four others were treated and transported to hospital for injuries ranging from minor to moderate. The road had to be closed for at least three hours due to the recovery of the vehicle."
