Multiple people were injured after a minibus left the roadway and crashed down an embankment and came to a standstill in a river off Allandale road in Glen Austin, Midrand this morning.
Netcare 911 paramedics and other services arrived at the scene and found that some of the occupants of the minibus were entrapped in the vehicle.
Netcare 911’s rescue unit and the Midrand fire department had to make use of the Jaws of Life to extricate the entrapped people from the vehicle.
All the occupants were treated on scene and transported to various hospitals for further medical care.
Exact detail surrounding the cause of the accident and preceding events will remain the subject of a police investigation.
