“On arrival, paramedics were shocked to find the superbike still on the vehicle. Paramedics found the rider a few metres away.

The rider, a male in his thirties, had serious injuries. Advanced life support paramedics worked to stabilise him on the scene before he was transported to a nearby hospital for further care,” Jamieson said.

Jamieson added the events leading up to the crash were unknown, but Saps and metro police were in attendance for further investigations.

Last month, one person was killed and 60 others seriously injured following a road accident involving a truck transporting workers in KZN.

The accident occurred on Hela Hela Pass outside Pietermaritzburg just before 7 am.

Limpopo crash  

In a separate accident, 10 people died in a bus accident in Limpopo.

According to the Limpopo Department of Transport and Community Safety spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene, the accident occurred at 3 Miles on the N1 near Makhado, just before midnight on Tuesday.

The bus was en route to Johannesburg from Zimbabwe.

All the deceased − five men and five women − are reportedly foreign nationals.

“According to reports, the bus drove over a roundabout (the last traffic circle from Makhado towards Polokwane) at high speed. It lost control and overturned, killing and injuring its passengers,” said Chuene.

“The bus driver is reportedly new to the job and unfamiliar with the surroundings.”

The scene has been cleared, and the injured passengers have been taken to various hospitals in Makhado.
