ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring says, ” Paramedics along with several other services arrived on the scene to find the taxi and light motor vehicle in the middle of the road. Both vehicles had sustained a significant amount of damage.
“Medics assessed the patients and found that ten people, including three children under 10, had sustained numerous, fatal injuries. Nothing could be done for them and they were declared dead.”
Meiring said that several other patients were found with injuries ranging from minor to critical.
“Patients were treated and thereafter transported to nearby hospitals for urgent care. The details surrounding this incident are not yet known but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.”
