EIGHTEEN people, including 10 children between the ages of four and seven, suffered moderate to serious injuries after a taxi collided with a truck on June 23.
The taxi they were travelling in collided with the side of a truck and trailer at an intersection on Old Vereeniging Road, Alrode, Alberton, on Sunday morning.

Both the Fire Department and SAPS were on scene for further investigations.
