14 hurt after a taxi overturns


Johannesburg – Fourteen people were injured when their taxi overturned on the R21 near Kempton Park, Johannesburg, on Tuesday afternoon, paramedics said.

“The vehicle had apparently rolled numerous times, ejecting some of the occupants,” said ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring.

Two people sustained critical injuries and were given advanced life support before being immobilised on spine boards.

“The remaining patients sustained minor to moderate injuries,” said Meiring.

The injured were treated on the scene before being taken to nearby hospitals.

“The cause of the collision is not yet known and local authorities were on scene for further investigations,” said Meiring.
