Firemen used the jaws of life to free the injured.

TWENTY-FIVE people were injured after two taxis collided along Saunders Avenue in Isipingo Hills on Wednesday, 12 August at about 5.20pm.

After triaging, it was found 25 people sustained injuries ranging from serious to minor,” said Netcare 911 media liaison, Chris Botha.

“While firemen used the jaws of life to free the injured, medics worked tirelessly to stabilise them before they were transported to various hospitals for the care they required.”
