Thirty-one children and two adults were injured when a taxi rear-ended another at Potchefstroom’s N12 and Klinkenberg intersection.
ER24, Mooirivier Beskerming and other services arrived at 07h40 on Monday to find that two taxis had collided and were parked in the road.
Numerous children that had been travelling in the taxis had climbed out of the vehicles and were now seated on the centre median.
Medics assessed the patients and found that thirty-one children, believed to be aged between 3 and 11, and both taxi drivers had sustained minor to moderate injuries.
Fortunately, no serious injuries or fatalities were found. The patients were treated and thereafter transported to Potchefstroom Provincial Hospital for further care.
The details surrounding this incident are unknown, but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
