SIX pupils were injured at a school in KwaDabeka when a truck drove through a parking lot on Thursday afternoon.
The six pupils, all aged 16, were found lying in the parking lot with teachers and residents attending to them.
ER24 spokesman, Russel Meiring, said a truck hit six children before stopping in a yard next to the school.
“Paramedics discovered that all six schoolgirls, as well as the truck driver, had sustained minor to moderate injuries. Fortunately no-one had sustained any serious injuries,” said Meiring.
Paramedics treated the patients on scene and transported them to a medical facility.
Local authorities will be investigating the cause of the accident.
