The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport says a joint team of highly trained officers from various law enforcement agencies has been established to investigate the exact cause of a crash that claimed the lives of 11 people on R102 near Lotus Park at Isipingo south of Durban on Thursday morning.
It is alleged that the 11 people, including a child, were passengers of a taxi which collided with a container truck.
Department spokesperson Ndabezinhle Sibiya says several others have sustained critical to serious injuries.
