“Reports from the scene indicate a VW Golf collided into the rear of the taxi, causing it to overturn,” said Botha.
“The wreckage of the taxi had come to rest on its side in the slow lane. Paramedics found 15 injured at the side of the roadway, six with serious injuries, while nine escaped with minor injuries.”
The injured were treated at the scene, before medics transported them to various hospitals.
