Durban - Security and Emergency services operator, KZN VIP Protection Services is mourning the loss of one of its paramedics.
Tremaine Joshua Hembert, a paramedic with VIP’s Medical and Rescue unit, was killed in a road accident on Monday night on Old Main Road in Ottawa.
It has been reported that his car crashed into a tree and he was declared dead at the scene.
KZN VIP’s Gareth Naidoo described Hembert as a dedicated young man who put his heart into his job. He said Hembert was raised by his grandmother after losing both his parents at an early age.
