Fourteen people sustained injuries ranging from moderate to serious after a taxi and a vehicle collided on Pretoria road towards the circle at Birchleigh in Kempton Park last night.
When ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene just after 20H00, they found a number of patients lying scattered across the road. It is believed that after the taxi rolled, some of the patients were ejected while others were pulled from the taxi.
The driver of the vehicle also sustained serious injuries. Metro Services closed the road in both directions.
ER24, and various other medical services on scene, transported the patients to hospital for further medical care.
The exact circumstances surrounding the incident were not known to our paramedics, but the police were on the scene for further investigations.
