Eight people have sustained various injuries after a taxi and a bus collided at the junction of Queen Street and Albert Street just after 2pm today.
Rescue Care Paramedics arrived on the scene to find that after the initial collision the taxi veered off the road and crashed into a shop leaving two people injured in the shop. A further six people from the taxi and the bus had also been injured. More ambulances were called to assist in the multiple casualty scene. Once all of the injured had been stabilized they were transported to various Durban Hospitals for the further care that they required.
At this stage it is unclear what caused the collision however SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further.
